An ideal guide for the paralegal student, ESSENTIALS OF CONTRACT LAW, Second Edition presents the law of contracts in an understandable and organized manner. The book's effective "road map" approach to contracts helps students learn about contract formation, contracts the courts will not enforce, the plaintiff's allegation of breach, the defendant's response to the plaintiff's allegation, and the plaintiff's remedies for breach of contract. In this edition, the author separately addresses the impact of Article 2 of the UCC (sale of goods), federal preemption, and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) on common law contract theory. Cutting through excess verbiage and outdated doctrine, the book develops each rule of law by presenting theory, illustrating theory with an example, and providing a "problem" to give you hands-on practice.
