Customer Reviews

Great for understanding the law of contracts

Excellent book, explanations are clear, text is organized and covers all relevant details what you need to know to succeed on the finals. I did not buy this book during the first term, unfortunately, but bought during the second term. It literally saved me from getting "C" and lower. Highly recommend for every law student.

Student edition of a great treatise

E. Allan Farnsworth was a reporter for the Restatement (Second) of Contracts, and until the American Law Institute publishes a Concise Restatement of Contracts, this book is about as close as we're going to get.This volume is a one-volume condensation, for student use, of Farnsworth's three-volume treatise on contract law, and it's worth every penny it costs. It may, however, be a bit daunting for a One-L looking for a text to supplement the casebook, so you might consider using Calamari as your main hornbook.But my personal recommendation is that you buy both if you can; where Calamari is brief, Farnsworth elaborates a great deal and provides plenty of dense, helpful detail. I myself used Calamari for basic principles and Farnsworth for further discussion.Farnsworth is also the author of _Changing Your Mind: The Law of Regretted Decisions_. Check that one out too.

The authority on contract law

This is the ultimate treatise/supplement to any Contracts casebook. Farnsworth does an excellent job of articulating the various doctrines and their interrelation to each other. I highly recommend to everyone who hopes to better understand contract law or hopes to ace their contracts final that they purchase or read this book.

The book to have in Contracts!

If you are interested in learning contract law than this is the book for you. The concepts are cleary illustrated and presented in a well organized fashion. The author is the preeminent legal scholar in Contracts today and is an excellent teacher.
