Description

The Modern Law of Contracts 4th Edition Bruce Frier

ISBN 9781683285304

This casebook is designed for a four-credit, one-semester course and is carefully structured to support efficient and effective learning. Clear introductory sections orient students quickly to unfamiliar topics and doctrinal frameworks, easing the transition into complex areas of law. The selected cases not only illustrate how contract doctrine is applied, but also, in appropriate instances, expose its limitations and tensions.

The authors intentionally present differing perspectives on foundational issues, allowing students to encounter and evaluate the range of competing views that shape modern contract law. The text places significant emphasis on contemporary developments, including form and standard contracts, evolving doctrines of unconscionability, the growth of arbitration, and the expanding role of computers and technology in commercial transactions.
