The thoroughly updated and modernized Sixth Edition of this famous casebook is built on the spine of leading contracts cases, which are presented in a full-bodied way, with only limited editing of the facts. Text Notes are used selectively, so readers are provided with background discussions where an issue is better elaborated by notes than by case. There are copious cross-references to the UCC and the Restatement (Second) of Contracts. And, three important innovations have been made in the Sixth Edition: the addition of extensive cross references to the Convention for the International Sale of Goods and the Unidroit Principles of International Contracts Law, together with Text Notes concerning CISG and Unidroit; the inclusion of extensive cross-references to the Drafts of proposed new Articles 2 and 9 of the UCC; and the use of extensive Text Note Material on the effect of Electronic Data Interchange on contract law.

One of the best casebooks my 1L year,
By
This review is from: Basic Contract Law (American Casebook Series) (Hardcover)
First, you must consider that a) this is a law school casebook, it's not meant to be light reading, and b) my review might be somewhat tained by the fact that I've taken a Contracts course taught by Mel (an awesome lecturer), but: this is a more clearly organized and well edited casebook than most.The cases are well chosen and often paired in contrast to illustrate the few most common views courts have on a particular rule of Contract, usually with a full case first of the majority view and a few short "squib" cases after for emerging or fading perspectives. It's up to date with cases on electronic signatures and shrinkwrap licenses. The commentary after each section is readable and lucid. The organization is clear -- Eisenberg himself lectured straight through the book and it made for what seemed like a solid, complete course, focusing mostly on the full-length cases. If you're planning on teaching Contracts, I'd take a good look at Mel's book.

Not the best I've had, not the worst,
By A. Luch "_aya_" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Contract Law (American Casebook Series) (Hardcover)
You'll most likely have this assigned, or you won't be reading this...so since you have no choice in the casebook your prof is using, here's my 2 cents:
The book is DRY. Of course, contracts is not the lightest course to assimilate, but I frequently wondered why so many cases and few explanations, instead of the opposite? I'm sure it's possible to learn contract law from this, but if it weren't for the Law School Legends Contracts on tape I probably would not have remembered the dozens and dozens of cases about the same principle. Please, next time attempt READABILITY! If I were a contracts lawyer already I probably would not be buying the casebook, I'd try a treatise!
