Frier and White's The Modern Law of Contracts, 2d

This casebook includes materials that quickly orient students to unfamiliar subjects. Cases present both the doctrine applied and, in some instances, the shortcomings of that doctrine. The authors express their disagreement about basic issues, so that students can experience the range of possibilities in modern contract law. The authors avoid 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 the bare minimum, while more pivotal subjects such as form contracts, arbitration clauses, and the modern concept of unconscionability are considered at length.
