The Modern Law of Contracts includes introductions that quickly orient students to unfamiliar territories in contract law. This casebook also:
Includes cases that present both the doctrine applied and, in some instances, the shortcomings of that doctrine
Presents the authors’ disagreement about basic issues so that students can experience the range of possibilities in modern contract law
Saves time by avoiding extensive citation of academic scholarship except as it pertains to the cases being studied
Certain traditional subjects such as offer and acceptance and consideration are reduced to a minimum, while more contemporary subjects such as form contracts and the modern concept of unconscionability are considered at length. Arbitration and the Supreme Court’s historic decision in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion are also closely examined.
