Description

An invaluable supplement to any contracts law casebook (including the authors’ own K: A Common Law Approach to Contracts), this concise statutory supplement provides the materials necessary to keep your first-year contracts course completely up-to-date. Inside you will find the materials necessary to learn how to use the most important sources of law (other than the judicial opinions which fill your casebook): the Restatement (Second) of Contracts and the principal commercial statute—the Uniform Commercial Code—as part of the foundation course in contracts.

The authors have carefully selected sections from:

The Restatement (Second) of Contracts
Uniform Commercial Code Article 1
Uniform Commercial Code Article 2

The judicious inclusion of comments and illustrations from the Restatement (Second) and the Uniform Commercial Code ensures students have access to resources which add helpful depth to the “black letter law” and avoids overwhelming students with dense and unnecessary detail. This statutory supplement aids students in the task of learning the essentials of contract law.
