Basic Contract Law or Working Safe

Basic Contract Law

Author: Lon L Fuller

The thoroughly updated and modernized Sixth Edition of this famous casebook is built on the spine of leading contracts cases, which are presented in a full-bodied way, with only limited editing of the facts. Text Notes are used selectively, so readers are provided with background discussions where an issue is better elaborated by notes than by case. There are copious cross-references to the UCC and the Restatement (Second) of Contracts. And, three important innovations have been made in the Sixth Edition: the addition of extensive cross references to the Convention for the International Sale of Goods and the Unidroit Principles of International Contracts Law, together with Text Notes concerning CISG and Unidroit; the inclusion of extensive cross-references to the Drafts of proposed new Articles 2 and 9 of the UCC; and the use of extensive Text Note Material on the effect of Electronic Data Interchange on contract law.
