Customer Rating: Summary: Ultimately resolved Comment: Ultimatley resolved but had a short period of anxiety where there were no response from the seller. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Book for first year law students Comment: The first year of law school was very difficult. It was refreshing to use this casebook that so clearly outlined the law of contracts.
The best part about the book is the problems after every section of cases. These problems allowed me to realize whether I understood that type of contract.
The worse part about the book is that the hornbook is a newer edition. So, although Calamari does an excellent job laying out the law, the labels (that tell you which sections in the hornbook to read) do not always correspond.
The methodology in Cases and Problems on Contracts started as a successful experiment. Students are forced to exercise analytic thinking prior to coming to class and master basic contracts by working problems and dissecting cases. The material employs the problem method in tandem with case dissection to develop students' interest and increase their store of knowledge. A large number of the cases were decided in the twenty-first century and involve current issues. The coursebook also includes many cases involving lawyers contracts to illuminate various aspects of professional responsibility demonstrating that the law governing lawyers' contracts is different.
