Contracts: Law in Action: Volume I: The Introductory Course puts contracts problems in context and focus on contracts problems that students will face... when they become lawyers. American contract law is messy and often contradictory. Even when the rules stay more or less the same, their application varies from court to court over time. The book helps students see the hard choices lurking behind what seem to be the simple rules of contract law and prepares them to hit the ground running when they begin practice.

Designed for one-term contracts courses, Contracts: Problems, Cases and Materials covers a wide range of contractual obligations such as employment,... land sale, sale/lease of goods, arbitration, prisoner's rights, advertising, state/municipal government contracts, etc., in a concise, problem-oriented manner. Organized on the basis of real-world legal practice, the book introduces the reader to a problem at the beginning of each section and then provides the reader with the resources to solve the problem as he or she progresses through the section. This method allows the reader to apply principles from cases and materials to solve problems, rather than merely to learn the principles involved in previously adjudicated situations. Miller begins Contracts: Problems, Cases and Materials with a discussion of intent and carries this theme throughout the book as he describes contract formation, interpretation and augmentation of contracts, contract enforcement, and third-party involvement. Field-tested for several years, the book enables the reader to thoroughly cover all aspects of the field of contracts. A teacher's manual is available.

This handsome 700 page paperback volume brings to you the full richness of these primary sources of the law of contracts. Unlike all other Contracts... supplements, this text provides 100% of the Restatement 2d Comments and Illustrations. UCC Article 2 (1995) is also reprinted including all of the Official Comments - plus the relevant sections from UCC Articles 1 and 9. To assist understanding changes made in the Revised UCC Article 2 (2001), we have included at the end of each Section the relevant changes. Lastly, to complete the students understanding of international contract law, we have included the U.N. Convention for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Our Director, Professor James Byrne, a contracts professor at George Mason University School of Law, compiled and edited this supplement to use when teaching Contracts. While other supplements contain redacted portions of the Restatement 2d, Professor Byrne found that the Comments and Illustrations clearly demonstrated the meanings of the Restatement rules and are absolutely necessary in the proper understanding and application of these rules. No other statutory supplement available for the study of Contracts contains in one volume the ENTIRE Restatement 2d - Text, Comments and Illustrations - along with the UCC Article 2 and relevant UCC Articles 1 and 9 sections as well as the CISG.
Several Professors commented on how useful the supplement is, and now many of the top Contracts professors in the country require it for their contracts students. Professors interested in requiring this book for their class can contact the publisher directly at info@iiblp.org for more information. For more info, go to www.iiblp.org

In this appealing Stories offering, the editors are joined by other leading contracts scholars in taking the major cases in contract law from Britton v.... Turner to Red Owl to Pro CD to Baby M and putting them in their historical and cultural context. This volume brings together a broad array of contracts scholars. Each of the eleven short and readily accessible chapters provides newly uncovered facts about and insights into the cases that lie at the core of the first-year contracts class. Long-standing puzzles are answered (such as the identity of Louise Hamer and why the nephew transferred his claim to her after his uncle died in Hamer v. Sidway and why a bridge to nowhere was built in Luten Bridge). These answers in turn are linked to the larger political and social forces at work, and the way these forces have shaped the evolution of contract law.

This text blends classic common law contract cases with 21st-century opinions and draws upon the problem method of instruction. It compares and... contrasts the common law of contracts, the Restatement of the Law Second Contracts, and Uniform Commercial Code Article 2 rules, as well as the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, and explores their evolution and application. It emphasizes the importance of context to the application of legal principles and discusses the overlap between the knowledge and skills of a litigator and those of a transactional attorney.
