Adaptable for instructors with different teaching techniques, Problems in Contract Law: Cases and Materials can teaching by traditional case analysis, through problem-based instruction, or using theoretical inquiry. The balanced blend of traditional and contemporary cases combine with cogent explanatory text to help students place cases in a larger legal context. A significant treatment of the CISG is offered.
The Seventh Edition continues the previous edition’s reflection on the complexity of current 21st century contract law with its varied strains and constant flux, going beyond earlier editions’ emphasis on the historical progression from “classical” to “modern” contract law.

In addition, it considers the increased use of mandatory arbitration clauses in mass adhesion contracting (banks, communications providers, hospitals, for example). Even more flexibility is provided for instructors who prefer to reorder the chapters rather than teach them in a linear sequence.

The 1850s called. They want their casebook back. Outdated. Just buy the Gilberts or whatever and go online to learn the CL of Contracts. So many other ways to learn contracts that are so much faster than reading casebooks. All the essential cases will be listed in Gilberts. Or on Cornell’s LII website. Or a thousand other places.
