This is a great supplement for trying to understand the very detailed subject of contracts. I found it a confusing subject and this helped make it more clear.

I don't know how much it helped with my final, but I can pretty much credit my almost perfect midterm score (and my highest grade of all my classes) on reading this in the week leading up to the midterm. The questions and answers do a really good job of making sure that students actually learn and know how to apply concepts.

How could you get through the first year without it?

Hey, I tried everything in law school. This series was actually interesting.

[Bonnie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a very good Contract Law book. Covers history, Uniform Commercial Code and case Law.
Reading is sometimes dry and boring but covers subject matter well. Sometimes interesting real cases.

This is the best supplement to contract law I've read. Even better than the CP hornbook.
