Contracts: A Context and Practice Casebook (Context and Practice Series)

By Michael Hunter Schwartz and Adrian Walters

Book Overview

The fourth edition of Contracts: A Context and Practice Casebook modernizes many existing problems and exercises, while introducing new ones that draw upon legal pedagogy scholarship and address important issues at the intersection of law, equity, policy, and culture. It incorporates a strengthened focus on transactional skills, including an entirely new exercise emphasizing negotiation and revision of potential contract provisions. Each chapter in this edition offers an entirely new section on spotting and analyzing the issues covered, both in law practice and exam hypotheticals. The book places students in the role of practitioners handling simulated law practice problems; provides context in the form of an overview of the law; includes exercises, visual aids, case illustrations, and call-out notes designed to promote self-reflective reading; spells out how the issues covered in the chapter tend to arise; and ends with professionalism inquiries addressing ethical and professional identity questions suggested by the materials in the chapter.
