Reviews

"I would adopt the text because I liked how it brought real-world topics into the classroom. I loved the facts and outcomes of real world cases in each chapter."

"My students generally find certain areas of contract law confusing. There have also been difficulties concerning negotiable instruments. I think this book does a good job tacking those problem areas and breaking them down to brass tacks. The cases and scenarios help make the issues clear."

"I see these advantages: easy to read and understand, it isn’t written like a law school textbook; excellent coverage of the basics of contract law; real cases--nothing made up; and always up to date."
