This edition continues to emphasize not only contract doctrine, but also contract theory and practice. As with the first two editions, the book is predominantly a casebook and includes many important old and famous cases, along with many more recent opinions that facilitate comprehension of the leading rules and principles. Part One stresses the function of contract law to support social exchange and addresses the major theories of obligation and associated remedies. Parts Two through Four present important stages of contractual activity: consummation of agreements, performance or breach, and the cessation of contractual relations. Part Five treats rights and duties of third parties.

<p>This book includes many important old and famous cases as well as many more recent opinions that facilitate comprehension of leading rules and principles. Authors also introduce contract theory. Carefully selected excerpts invite students to think beyond nuts and bolts, yet are neither too long nor too difficult for beginning students. Work also introduces and develops the concept of multidimensional theories of obligation in the contract field, explores close relationships between theory and remedy, analyzes divergent approaches to policing agreements, and systematically addresses various approaches to termination of contract obligation. This Summers and Hillman text is an exceptional teaching tool.</p>
