The book covers both the classical cases and doctrine that comprise the foundations of contract law and also recent cases and developments that have influenced twenty-first century contract law. Included in the sixth edition’s new material are developments in the law of contract remedies, unjust enrichment, public policy, duress, parol evidence, contract interpretation, good faith, standard forms, mistake, duty to disclose, frustration of purpose, and third-party beneficiaries.
This edition also includes a short discussion of the Restatement of Consumer Contracts, the 2022 amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code, and the forthcoming role of artificial intelligence. The edition also adds a new appendix with a brief overview of contract law scholarship.
To facilitate reading and understanding of the substance of contract law, the book includes clear explanations, numerous examples, and cross-references. Further, many of the cases cited in the footnotes include short quotations to substantiate assertions made in the text and to help readers who wish to engage in additional research.
In short, Principles of Contract Law has proven to be an excellent and reliable aid for teachers, practitioners, and students immersed in the study of contract law.
