Examples & Explanations for Contracts

By Brian A. Blum

Book Overview

A favorite classroom prep tool of successful students that is often recommended by professors, the Examples & Explanations (E&E) series provides an alternative perspective to help you understand your casebook and in-class lectures. Each E&E offers hypothetical questions complemented by detailed explanations that allow you to test your knowledge of the topics in your courses and compare your own analysis.

Here's why you need an E&E to help you study throughout the semester:

Clear explanations of each class topic, in a conversational, funny style. Features hypotheticals similar to those presented in class, with corresponding analysis so you can use them during the semester to test your understanding, and again at exam time to help you review. It offers coverage that works with ALL the major casebooks, and suits any class on a given topic.

The Examples & Explanations series has been ranked the most popular study aid among law students because it is equally as helpful from the first day of class through the final exam.

Extremely Helpful Book

This book was very helpful for Contracts I and II. The explanations are very clear and helpful, and the examples and problems are great as well. The 2nd edition is much more helpful and contains better interpretations of the recent law

Elle Woods must have bought this book....

This the only study aid I needed to buy in order to ace Contracts. It is fantastic. Whether your course stresses common law, UCC, or policy driven approaches (or all three together), this book will help you see the "big picture" from formation to breach to remedies. Don't worry about wordiness or length because you can breeze through it due to Blum's excellent organization and his ability to depict pages worth of information in charts. Finally, the examples are challenging and interesting, and should have you ready for your final.

Great Contracts Supplement

I found this book very useful to help understand both the law and how it applies to real world situations. I always found myself going to it after class and after reading, which in turn helped me get the grade I wanted. It makes the subjects a lot easier to understand. I also really liked the charts, which can easily help you visualize how a certain concepts work (especially UCC 2-207). I would highly recommend this to any 1L.

This study aid does an excellent job of explaining every contracts topic covered in the first year. It incorporates many diagrams and charts to help explain tricky concepts and also explains many main cases from the textbook. This book is so complete that it should be required reading.
