Purchase options and add-ons

"Essentials of Contract Law" presents the study of the law of contracts in an organized fashion via a "road map" for thinking about contracts problems. Through the road map concept, students learn about contract formation, determining the applicable law, unenforceable contracts and breach of contract. The text cuts through excess verbiage and outdated doctrine, ensuring that students gain a solid understanding of the material. The rules of law are developed through presentation of theory, followed by an example and a paralegal exercise. Each chapter develops the next step in the road map so the text is methodical and cohesive. Students are also taught how to analyze a contract problem using a common law and code.

Most excellent textbook

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2009

Verified Purchase

I highly recommend this book on contracts. I am taking a paralegal "Contracts" class and have completed the course except for the final exam.

Definitions of legalisms are very clear and are included in the book (though you will find you must get the paperback version of Black's Law Dictionary), the index to the book is quite useful. Examples are always given and are clear.

The book will also act as a future reference for me when I am analyzing a contract. Each chapter concludes with a "paralegal checklist" that summarizes the subject at hand so you can double-check the contract you are reading to see that everything is correct.

I believe this textbook is part of a new breed of textbooks. I found, for a parallel example, that Michael Sullivan's book on Algebra and Trigonometry is a miracle of thoroughness and clarity, considering the subject, and that this book is a "miracle" of clarity, again considering it is a legal textbook, and the subject.

Well organized, but needs more examples

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2006

Verified Purchase

I am in a love/hate relationship with this book! On the up side, it is very well organized. In fact, it reads like a really, really good set of notes. On the down side, although it is well organized, it ONLY reads like a really, really good set of notes.

I am presently using this book in an online paralegal course and find myself going online constantly to hunt for examples or explanations of the definitions. It would really help for the authors to provide more examples and maybe even answers to selected questions.

On the other hand, if you are trying to plow through a wordy text and need a good, organized synopsis of the material, this is the book for you.

as advertised

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2006

It's an okay book. A source of frustration with it is the frequent use of exercise questions without then explaining the answers. That may work in traditional classroom where class discussion and a teacher are involved, but it does not work for the lone reader.
