The book covers both the classical cases and doctrine that comprise the foundations of contract law, and also recent cases and developments that have influenced twenty-first century contract law. The book builds on and enhances casebook material and is an excellent source for students to solidify their understanding of the classroom experience.

To facilitate reading and understanding the rules and principles, the book includes numerous examples, illustrations, and cross-references. Further, many of the cases cited in the footnotes include short quotations to substantiate assertions made in the text and to help readers who wish to engage in additional research.

In short, Principles of Contract Law has proven to be an excellent and reliable aid for teachers and students immersed in the study of contract law.
