Publisher's Synopsis
<p> Brian Blum is widely regarded for writing and teaching skills that help first-year students understand difficult concepts. The unique, time-tested pedagogy in <b>Contracts: Examples and Explanations</b> combines text with examples, explanations, and questions to test student comprehension and provide practice in applying information to fact patterns. The questions (in which there are a variety of issues in one fact situation) are similar to those on a law school or bar examination. Diagrams provide useful visual aids for remembering key points. UCC Article 2 is covered throughout the book as is the important contemporary trend of electronic contracting. </p> <p> The <b>Sixth Edition</b> expands and refines the discussion of standard and electronic contracts. The text places greater emphasis on standard arbitration and forum selection clauses, which have been frequently challenged in recent cases. References to the failed 2003 revisions of Article 2 are brief and selective. The<b> Sixth Edition </b>presents updated text as well as new examples and explanations. Many new cases with interesting facts and discussion are used to illustrate text and form the basis of examples and explanations. </p> <p> <b>Features:</b> </p> <ul> <li> Blum is highly regarded for <b>writing and teaching skills</b> that help first-year students understand difficult concepts </li> <li> <b>diagrams </b>provide useful visual aids for remembering key points </li> <li> <b>unique, time-tested E&E pedagogy</b> <ul> <li> combines text with comprehensive examples, explanations, and questions </li> <li> tests student comprehension </li> <li> provides practice in applying information to fact patterns </li> </ul> </li> <li> <b>carefully-written questions</b> <ul> <li> include a variety of issues in one fact situation </li> <li> replicate law school or bar exams </li> </ul> </li> <li> direct explanatory text <b>specifically geared to first-year students</b> </li> <li> coverage of <b>UCC Article 2</b> throughout the book </li> <li> explores <b>electronic contracting</b> </li> </ul> <p> <b>Thoroughly updated, the revised Sixth Edition:</b> </p> <ul> <li> expands and refines the discussion of <b>standard and electronic contracts</b> </li> <li> places greater emphasis on <b>standard arbitration and forum selection clauses</b> (frequently challenged in recent cases) </li> <li> includes <b>brief and selective references</b> to the failed 2003 revisions of UCC Article 2 </li> <li> introduces <b>new examples and explanations</b> </li> <li> explores many <b>new cases</b> with interesting facts and discussion <ul> <li> illustrate the text </li> <li> form the basis of examples and explanations </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
