Contracts, Cases and Theory of Contractual Obligation

by James F. Hogg, Carter Bishop, Daniel Barnhizer

This new book is a hybrid – in addition to well selected cases, it contains substantial scholarly textual material introducing each topic or case. The student is given insights into both historical development and applicable theory. The approach is “show the ball” so as to enable the student to get more deeply into the challenging material. Each case is followed by extensive notes and questions designed to extend student thinking and reasoning. A very detailed Teachers Manual will accompany this book is available, containing briefs of each case, lists of interesting discussion and focus issues, and answers to every question in the notes.

Not bad. Plenty of classic cases. And some good Contracts limericks by Prof. Douglass Boshkoff in the Notes. Too often the text makes (supposedly) important references to specific Restatement sections, without actually printing the contents of that Section. Having to look up the R(S)C in an outside source quickly became annoying. Additionally, this book was FULL of typographical errors and misspellings. A couple of times, the law was actually stated incorrectly--simply because a single word was omitted. For 100 bucks I expect better.
