This new book is a hybrid – in addition to well selected cases, it contains substantial scholarly textual material introducing each topic or case. The student is given insights into both historical development and applicable theory. The approach is “show the ball” so as to enable the student to get more deeply into the challenging material. Each case is followed by extensive notes and questions designed to extend student thinking and reasoning. A very detailed Teachers Manual will accompany this book is available, containing briefs of each case, lists of interesting discussion and focus issues, and answers to every question in the notes.

Contracts: Cases and Theory of Contractual Obligation (American Casebooks)

Examines how AI/Robotics is overwhelming the fundamental institutions of Western society. But are we prepared for the social impact of the vast changes soon to be upon us? • Half the world’s workers could be replaced by machines within the next 30 years. The McKinsey Global Institute and Oxford University researchers predict massive job loss with 47% to 50% of US jobs eliminated by 2030 and up to 800 million more jobs destroyed worldwide. • Nor will the AI/robotics transformation produce large numbers of replacement jobs. The AI/robotics systems are already being designed to do those. No area of work is sacrosanct. Work opportunities are being eliminated from the most “intellectual” activities down to the basic areas of services and labor, including a range of professional occupations heretofore thought of as distinctly human: in middle management, finance, banking, insurance, medicine, high-tech, transportation, law and even the arts. Worse, it is playing out in the context of a set of critical issues. • Birth rates are plummeting below replacement levels in economically developed nations. People are living to ages wellbeyond historical averages. • At least fifty percent of Americans have little or nothing saved for retirement. • Poor and uneducated migrants are coming into Western nations at a time when the agricultural, construction and home care jobs migrants have traditionally filled are being increasingly replaced by robotic workers. • An already bankrupt US government is projected to experience annual deficits above $1 trillion for at least the next ten years. The US national debt is officially admitted to be $21 trillion, but is actually closer to $65 trillion dollars according to a former US Comptroller General. As AI/robotics eliminates jobs across the spectrum, governmental revenues will plummet while the debt increases dramatically. This crisis of limited resources on all levels―underfunded or non-existent pensions, health problems, lack of savings, and job destruction―will drive many into homelessness and produce a dramatic rise in violence . All this will take place in an environment of increased AI-facilitated surveillance by governments, aggressive militarization using AI systems and autonomous weapons, and the degradation of of the world;s economic and political order. The final five chapters of CONTAGION offer possible solutions.

This comprehensive casebook is intended for a broad survey course on commercial law. The expanded scope of this edition includes transactions under the Convention of International Sales of Goods. This book is built around carefully selected and edited cases, author notes, and selected problems. Though including landmark cases, the authors emphasize cases decided since 1990. These newer cases offer both a more sophisticated discussion of problems than usually found in earlier cases, as well as more current analyses of Code ambiguities and conflicting approaches to certain Code sections.

Commercial Transactions Under the Uniform Commercial Code and Other Laws

King, Donald

Knight Jr., W. H.

Payne, Kathleen

Starnes, Cynthia

Carolina Academic Press

This book reviews and critiques some of the major theories of contract law. The theories of contract law selected for coverage include law and economics, behavioral decision theory, inequality of bargaining power, law as interpretation (idealism), and critical legal theory. Chapters 2 through 4 examine the use of the themes of rationality and efficiency to rationalize contract law. Chapters 5 and 6 analyze the role of bargaining power in contract law. Chapters 7 and 8 analyze the idealism of Karl N. Llewellyn and Ronald Dworkin that advances the proposition that law is able to obtain internal integrity through a process of theory building. Chapter 9 explores the major tenets of Critical Legal Studies, Critical Race Theory, and Feminist Legal Theory. Chapter 9 also acts as a capstone chapter in that it incorporates much of the analysis provided in the earlier chapters. New theoretical insights into more specific areas of interest are provided, such as the problems of rational choice theory, bargaining power, theory of interpretation, and the use of contextualism as a positive methodology of critical legal theory. In the end, the book should be viewed as a series of independent essays under the very broad umbrella of contract theory.

The new edition deals not only with the 1999 revisions to Article 9 but also with the recent revisions to Article 1. This edition also addresses the earlier revisions to Articles 5, 3, and 4. It has limited coverage of the failed attempt to revise Article 2. A reference volume relied on by students, courts, and business lawyers for decades, the 7th Edition has been updated in light of modern practice and provides a useful resource for students and practitioners dealing with issues in sales, contracts, secured transactions, and payment systems.
