Learning Contracts

by Jack Graves

Learning Contracts relies on more than appellate opinions to teach students the law. Structured presentations, detailed explanations, illustrative examples, and helpful summaries provide for more efficient learning and understanding of basic doctrine in advance of class, thus facilitating a “flipped-classroom" approach. With this approach, much more of your valuable class time can be spent on problems―both those included at the end of each lesson for preparation by students before class and others provided in teaching materials for “real time” problem solving during class. This new book provides substantial coverage of common law, UCC Article 2, and the CISG (using a “comparative” approach) and can reasonably be completed in a 4 credit hour course, or liberally supplemented with skills-building exercises for a 5 or 6 credit hour course.

Contracts aren't fun to study regardless, but the author does provide good examples and cases for applying different parts of the UCC, CISG, and Common Law.

"Learning Contracts" by Jack Graves offers a comprehensive approach to teaching contract law beyond appellate opinions. Through structured presentations, detailed explanations, and illustrative examples, the book supports a flipped-classroom model, enhancing pre-class learning. It covers common law, UCC Article 2, and the CISG with a comparative approach, making it suitable for various course lengths. End-of-lesson problems and in-class exercises aid real-time problem-solving and skills-building. While it boasts substantial content and a practical teaching methodology, its dense material may be challenging for some students. Overall, it’s a valuable resource for both students and instructors seeking an interactive and thorough understanding of contract law.
