Contracts

The Five Essential Concepts

Edición de la obra Contracts

"It's not a casebook; it's not a hornbook; it's not a traditional study aid. It's a short and extremely readable introduction to the five essential concepts of contract law: consideration, offer and acceptance, parol evidence, conditions, and quasi-contract. [This book] focuses on the ideas that first year contracts students are most likely to find confusing. Written in a relaxed, informal and nontechnical style, this book explains the five basic concepts using humorous anecdotes and familiar, relevant examples from daily life such as buying a laptop online, signing a lease, and taking out a student loan. It is the perfect supplement to a traditional casebook because it explains the logic underlying the most significant precedents without 'hiding the ball' and in an intuitively appealing way"--
