While Professor of Law and Dean of the Faculty of Law at the
University of Ghana from 1962 to 1964, the author personally
observed the evolving legal order in Ghana during a crucial period
in that country's development. Here, he considers statutes and
judicial decisions. Working from the premise that law is a
value-neutral technique of social ordering and derives its value
content from a dominant elite, Professor Harvey places the
important Ghanaian constitutional and legal developments in their
social context. He concludes that although democratic values have
dominated the basic structure of public power, autocratic values
have determined the realities of political life in Ghana.
Originally published in 1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.

With the appearance of the Eleventh Edition, this book is now well
into its sixth decade. Throughout its long history, this casebook
has relied on classic cases to capture the fundamental principles
of contract law. This new edition preserves and builds upon the
book's distinctive character, especially its use of canonical cases
and its sensitivity to the history. The newly added cases show how
the basic principles of contract law continue to evolve, even in
such well-explored areas as promissory estoppel and restitution. As
before, this edition eschews any distinctive take on the law of
contracts and thus allows each teacher using the book a broad range
of choice on what to bring in to channel or expand classroom
discussion. The most visible alteration in this edition is a new
focus on the bargaining environment in which contracts are formed
and how legal rules shape it. A significant amount of new material
has been added, but the length of the book remains about the same.
CasebookPlus Hardbound - New, hardbound print book includes
lifetime digital access to an eBook, with the ability to highlight
and take notes, and 12-month access to a digital Learning Library
that includes self-assessment quizzes tied to this book, leading
study aids, an outline starter, and Gilbert Law Dictionary.
