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.
