Contracts: Cases, Discussion and Problems (5th Edition) – eBook

(Aspen Casebook Series)

Contracts: Cases, Discussion, and Problems, 5th Edition (PDF) is known for its unambiguous, straightforward textbook that illuminates cases, concepts, and theories. Carefully edited modern, engaging cases are presented in context along with classic older cases. Insightful questions draw attention to difficult and crucial aspects of the law and prompt vigorous class discussion. Manageable problems supplement cases and introduce topics taught most effectively through problems.

The casebook’s traditional organization begins with formation and corresponds to the sequence followed by the Restatement (2nd) of Contracts and treatises. Its concise, efficient presentation results in an optimum length for the course. Transactional issues such as drafting, client counseling, and negotiation are emphasized through questions and small exercises throughout the text. Strengthening the textbook’s focus on contemporary contracting methods, modern issues in standard contracts are explored along with contracts entered into electronically. International and comparative material offers alternative approaches for students to consider, such as those taken by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts.

New to the Fifth Edition:

• A continuing focus on contracting via electronic media.
• An increase in the number of problems and the conversion of former case notes into problems.
• Revised multiple-choice self-assessment questions for each chapter at the end of the textbook.
• New cases, problems, and text throughout the ebook to update the discussion and provide new perspectives on contemporary approaches to the law.

Professors and law students will benefit from:

• The book’s most important feature is its deliberate design to be accessible and exciting to students and to provide them with challenging and thought-provoking materials but also coherent and carefully organized to avoid unnecessary confusion.
• The cases in the ebook are carefully edited and selected for accessibility, exciting and attractive facts, and clear exposition. Modern cases, many of which are very recent, are emphasized. Still, the textbook contains a good selection of iconic older cases that continue to be the best for teaching a particular subject.
• The textbook adopts a multifaceted approach to learning, including textual exposition, case analysis, questions, and problems. While some problems are relatively simple others are more complex. Many problems are based on decided cases, which are summarized briefly in the textbook of the problem.
