Description
Contracts A Real World Casebook Second Edition ISBN: 9781647084585
The Second Edition captivates students by integrating modern examples and contemporary events, making contract law both accessible and engaging.
Through a carefully curated selection of principal cases, the book preserves the most influential classic opinions that professors rely on while incorporating fresh, real-world disputes that resonate with students—such as contractual excuses arising from the disruptions of the coronavirus pandemic.
The casebook is designed to foster robust class discussion, with judicial opinions strategically edited to highlight key legal principles and provoke thoughtful debate.
Students will explore contract formation through cases involving the heavy metal band Megadeth and examine the doctrine of mistake in the context of Bernie Madoff’s infamous Ponzi scheme.
The text further brings contract law to life with compelling real-world disputes, such as the controversial sale of Banksy’s self-destructing artwork and the high-stakes battle over the ownership of a rare T-Rex fossil—situations where the narrative is better told than merely excerpted.
Throughout the book, students encounter engaging problems drawn from actual cases, encouraging them to think critically and apply legal principles in realistic contexts.
Ethical dilemmas and transactional drafting challenges are woven into the material, prompting students to consider not only doctrinal issues but also the practical and professional responsibilities of contract lawyers.
Reflecting a commitment to diversity and contemporary legal challenges, the casebook presents a wide range of perspectives and disputes.
Notes and questions following each case help prepare students for class discussion, while all relevant Restatement and UCC provisions are conveniently reproduced for reference, ensuring that students have the foundational materials they need at their fingertips.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Rental returns: free at semester's end, prorated if early
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early, before that date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
