Description
Contracts: Cases, Discussion, and Problems 6th Edition Brian A. Blum ISBN 9798894104829
Contracts: Cases, Discussion, and Problems is widely recognized for its exceptionally clear and accessible presentation, seamlessly integrating cases, doctrine, and theory. The book features a carefully curated selection of modern, engaging cases, complemented by a limited number of classic decisions that provide essential historical context. Each case is followed by thoughtfully crafted questions that highlight complex and significant aspects of the court’s reasoning and encourage active, in-depth class discussion.
The case materials are reinforced by concise and manageable problems. Some problems are designed to help students apply principles derived from the cases, while others introduce topics best taught through problem-based learning. Many questions and problems incorporate transactional perspectives, including drafting, client counseling, and negotiation. Reflecting contemporary contracting practices, the book places consistent emphasis on standard-form contracts, including those formed through electronic and digital means.
To broaden students’ understanding of contract law in a global context, most chapters conclude with a focused discussion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts. Each chapter is also supported by multiple-choice self-assessment questions located at the end of the book, allowing students to test and reinforce their understanding.
The book’s organization begins with contract formation and follows the structure of the Restatement (Second) of Contracts and leading treatises. Its concise and efficient design makes it well suited for a six-credit course, while retaining flexibility for shorter courses. A comprehensive teacher’s manual provides guidance for selecting materials and adapting coverage to different course formats.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
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 early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
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 is always free.
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: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your 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.
