Introduction to the Law of Contracts (4th ed)

An Introduction to the Law of Contracts is now out in it\u27s fourth edition. It is still carefully organized around a comprehensive road map that takes the student through the 6 steps of contract law, but the new edition includes added benefits. There are updated cases and examples, and each chapter ends with review questions to help reinforce the theories addressed in each chapter. The chapters also end with a checklist that helps to highlight the key concepts for the paralegal student. The first of 6 steps investigates what body of law applies to the transaction. The next step addresses the formation of a contract, offer and acceptance. Step 3 develops limitations on the party\u27s freedom to contract, and concepts such as infancy, illegality, duress, and unconscionability are explored. The next step looks at the plaintiff\u27s allegation of the defendant\u27s breach. Step 5 organizes the defendant\u27s responses to the plaintiff\u27s allegation of breach, categorizing it into one of two basic types that is then further explored. The final step develops the plaintiff\u27s remedies for the defendant\u27s breach of contract. With this step both the Common Law and UCC Article 2 remedies are explored. The text also makes reference to international arbitration based on the fact that over 90% of international contract disputes are resolved through international arbitration rather than litigation. Paralegal students will benefit from this thorough and highly readable text that is completely current and has a focus on retention.https://digitalcommons.law.utulsa.edu/books/1040/thumbnail.jp
