Description

Contract and Related Obligation: Theory, Doctrine, and Practice 9th Edition Robert A. Hillman ISBN 9781685613419

Contract and Related Obligation, Ninth Edition offers an in-depth exploration of contract law principles and the lawyer’s role in planning, drafting, and enforcing agreements.

The opening chapter sets this book apart by tracing a contract case from its inception through negotiation, breakdown, litigation, trial, and appellate review. It includes the original agreement, attorney correspondence, complaint, motions, jury instructions, verdict forms, post-trial motions, and the appellate opinion. This comprehensive approach helps students understand the lifecycle of a contract dispute and the multiple roles lawyers play, from advising and drafting to litigating.

The Ninth Edition then provides thorough coverage of contract law doctrines, including bargain, promissory estoppel, unjust enrichment, and contract-based torts. It integrates new cases and scholarship on emerging topics such as enforcement of digital contracts, AI-assisted contract interpretation, and the Restatement of Consumer Contracts. Selected excerpts from the authors’ own research, as well as cutting-edge work in law and social science and law and psychology, enrich the analysis throughout.

This edition introduces updated material on promissory estoppel, the Statute of Frauds, damages, unjust enrichment, contract modification, interpretation, good faith, duress, misrepresentation, waiver, anticipatory repudiation, mistake, third-party beneficiaries, and assignment and delegation. Some older cases and materials have been replaced to streamline the text and focus on contemporary issues. These updates ensure students gain a current, nuanced, and practical understanding of contract law.
