  • Description: This efficient and exceedingly effective guide to contracts will help you see the big picture. The authors focus on making the key concepts of contract law, and the relationship among those concepts, easier to understand and retain. They have also infused the book with humor, believing there is nothing inconsistent between a rigorous academic experience and having a little fun. Each author is a nationally-renowned law teacher who has taught contracts for decades. Based on that experience, they set forth understandable techniques for mastering the law that governs every critical aspect of the contract relationship, including, contract formation (offer and acceptance), enforcement (consideration and defenses), interpretation, performance, breach, and remedies.
