Description
Contracts The Law of Promises 2nd Edition ISBN 9781531027667
Contracts: The Law of Promises (Second Edition) is a comprehensive casebook designed for first-year contracts courses. Its primary goal is to present contract law in a clear and accessible way, allowing students to focus on mastering the application of legal rules rather than struggling to identify them.
The book begins each topic with straightforward explanations of the relevant doctrines, breaking down their key elements and providing practical context. More than 600 examples are integrated throughout to illustrate how the rules are applied in real-world scenarios. An appendix summarizes the most important black letter rules, offering a quick reference for students as they study and prepare for exams.
Each case is carefully selected for the clarity of its legal reasoning and is thoughtfully abridged to eliminate unnecessary detail, keeping the focus on core issues. Classic foundational cases are preserved, while others have been chosen to spark engaging classroom discussion. Preceding each case, explanatory text helps students grasp the underlying legal principles and their practical significance.
To reinforce learning, each chapter includes key takeaways and highlights of particularly important concepts. The book also features numerous class problems—many based on real cases—that professors can use to test students’ understanding and foster interactive learning. Common student mistakes are noted and explained to help students avoid pitfalls and develop stronger analytical skills.
While the book introduces relevant legal theory, it is kept to a minimum to ensure a strong emphasis on doctrine and application. By providing students with a clear understanding of black letter law and its practical use, Contracts: The Law of Promises frees professors to focus more class time on in-depth discussion rather than lecturing.
The Second Edition includes expanded coverage of electronic contracting and incorporates detailed explanations of the 2022 amendments to Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code and the 2022 Restatement of Consumer Contracts.

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.
