Consideration V. Causa in Roman-American Law

By Joseph Horace Drake

Book Overview

This book is a groundbreaking study of the concept of consideration in Roman-American law and its relation to the broader legal system. The author argues that the traditional notion of consideration as a necessary element of contract formation is inadequate and calls for a more nuanced approach that takes into account the factors that motivate parties to enter into agreements. The book is an important contribution to the field of legal theory and a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the foundations of contract law.
