A Casebook on Contract
By
Andrew Burrows
This new casebook by Professor Burrows offers undergraduate law students the ideal way to discover and understand contract law through reading highlights from the leading cases. Designed to be used in conjunction with a contract law textbook, it covers the undergraduate contract law course in a series of clearly presented and carefully-structured chapters.
Professor Burrows provides an expert introduction to each topic and his succinct notes and questions seek to guide students to a proper understanding of the cases. A principled analysis is also given of the relevant statutes. In addition to cross-references to further discussion in the leading textbooks, an innovative feature is the summary of leading academic articles in each chapter.
The book is designed not to overwhelm students by its length but covers all aspects of the law of contract most commonly found in the undergraduate curriculum.
