This book was actually recommended by my Contracts instructor. It is a valuable resource to consult for the broad concepts we go over in class. I read 1 section ahead everyday, prior to reading the cases, and it amazing how much more I get from the assigned material. Highly recommend.

I have purchased all the E&E for my law school classes, but I will try to limit my review to the Contracts book. I find myself relying on this book to help me understand concepts that are somewhat unclear to me from just reading the casebook. It helps clarify key points in layman's terms, and it provides example questions to make sure that you have the ability to apply the concepts that you are learning.

I recommend this book to any first-year law student who would like to use supplements in their studies in law school.

...that was the most surprising thing to come out of buying and reading the book. It's a great read - clearly written and actually entertaining. It gives a very solid foundation of knowledge.

This is an easy read, and interesting as far as contract law can be. It really puts the casebook into context. My contracts class uses the casebook from the same author, so it was helpful that the same cases were discussed in each, but this book would probably be useful either way since most casebooks will at least be similar. I also found it helpful that the author uses bold-faced type for key words, which is great for studying even if you don't have time to read the whole book. I didn't start using it until preparing for my final exams, but next semester I will definitely use it as supplemental reading.

Of all the supplements I have used for all my 1L classes, this one was the best!! A must-have for Contracts. I used it along with Emanuel Contracts, and they both saved my life.

This book lays out things in a very easy to understand way, and the examples are incredibly useful. The problems and explanations at the end of each chapter are a great way to practice.

I just took my Contracts 1 exam earlier this week, and this book was the key to my (perceived, at least) success. It is full of information, concise but still inclusive. The index is well organized, as was the straight forward glossary. The author also has a charming, but not overpowering, sense of humor that breaks the monotony of studying.

I have found this to be interesting reading on the law of contracts. As with all the examples series, it is easy to read, has examples and questions that can be used to judge your grasp of the information with explanations.

This book is written very well. The concepts are laid out in a cohesive manner. This book is especially helpful if your Contracts professor is very scant or unclear with his own explanations.

This supplement really helped me to grasp damages, a concept I was struggling with during my K course. I highly recommend it to all 1L's. It was actually recommended to the class by the prof, which is a rare thing for law school teachers it seems

Contract, Examples & Explanations is an in-depth coverage of Contracts. It's approachable and well written, providing an excellent foundation in Contract law. I read this book in parallel with Contracts in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) and found the two books complemented each other quite well in helping me to understand contracts.
