by Carolyn Nygren
Category: Law

The book begins with a short section entitled "The Study of Contracts is Unique", which discusses how studying contracts is different from studying any other course. These few pages contain the "big picture" of the study of contracts. After an introductory chapter, "Contract Formation" discusses mutual assent, which includes offer, revocation, termination and acceptance. A short section on consideration and promissory estoppel completes Chapter Two. Chapter Three starts with a short introduction to the two sections on defenses to contract. This subject is divided into defenses that were available at the time of the making of the contract and those which available after the time of the contract making. Chapter Four the reader to multi-issue exam questions, and Chapter Five, "Remedies", includes more multi-issue questions.
