Description
Contracts: Transactions and Litigation 5th Edition George Kuney ISBN 9781684674558
This comprehensive casebook is designed to support both a full-year Contracts course and a separate course on Sales, with in-depth coverage of U.C.C. Article 2. The Fifth Edition maintains its hallmark blend of traditional common law principles with contemporary developments, integrating classic cases with modern decisions that reflect the evolving nature of contract law in the 21st century. Central to its pedagogical approach is the use of the problem method, which encourages active engagement and application of doctrine to real-world scenarios.
The text offers students a comparative and layered understanding of contract law. It carefully contrasts the traditional common law of contracts with the Restatement (Second) of Contracts, while simultaneously incorporating and analyzing Uniform Commercial Code Article 2. In addition, it introduces students to international frameworks, including the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, illustrating how contract principles operate in both domestic and global contexts.
A major theme throughout the book is the importance of legal context. Rather than presenting rules as static or rigid, the text emphasizes how legal principles adapt to the facts of each case and to broader social, technological, and commercial developments. It draws connections between litigation-focused contract analysis and the transactional skills needed for effective drafting and negotiation, demonstrating how lawyers must move fluidly between advising clients, structuring deals, and resolving disputes.
The Fifth Edition features substantial updates reflecting recent legal trends and technological change. In particular, it examines the ongoing evolution of the parol evidence rule, and how courts and practitioners are rethinking traditional contract doctrines in response to digital contracting, automation, and online commerce.
With its thoughtful organization, practical focus, and interdisciplinary scope, this casebook equips students with both doctrinal knowledge and the practical skills needed to navigate the complex world of modern contract law.

Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 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 and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. 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. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
