The 8th edition of this popular casebook continues to use both the problem and case methods. Cases have been tightly edited and well-integrated with problems to provide maximum accessibility for students. Case excerpts are carefully linked to the Contracts Hornbook, as well as to the Restatements and the UCC, giving students an opportunity to integrate their analysis in real-world terms. Sample exam questions are provided throughout the book, and model exam answers appear in an appendix—so students can gauge their mastery of the subject. The authors have also made more use of graphics to illustrate and explain concepts, which should excite the interest of the current generation of visual learners. Extensive new materials—cases, problems, and other readings—address important recent developments in contract law such as digital contracting, non-compete agreements, and service contracts. A thorough teacher’s manual is available.
