A Well Organized, Functional Approach to the Law of Contracts
An Introduction to the Law of Contracts provides students with a well organized, functional approach to the law of contracts. Students lea an approach for analyzing contracts problems. This means they can readily transfer what they lea in class to what they need for their professional assignments. Our former students tell us that they remember and use the analysis in practice. This functional approach takes the form of a five step paradigm.
Step One: What law applies to this transaction?
Step Two: Has a contract been formed?
Step Three: Is the contract enforceable?
Step Four: Has the contract been breached?
Step Five: What remedies are available to the plaintiff for the defendant’s
breach of contract?
For those students who find visual aids reinforce their leaing, the paradigm is presented as a road map for the law of contracts.
Organization of the Textbook
This text introduces the law of contracts to paralegal students. It is written with the basic premise that the law of contracts need not be a jumble of unrelated rules. To remove the mystery from the law of contracts, we developed the road map for analyzing breach of contract causes of action. The text follows the road map found in the Introduction. An Introduction to the Law of Contracts is divided into six parts. Each of the first five parts takes students through a step in the road map analysis. The sixth part goes beyond the original two contracting parties and explores third party interests in the contract.
Part I. Step One: Determining the Applicable Law (Choice of Law)
Part II. Step Two: Contract Formation
Part III. Step Three: Contract Enforceability
Part IV. Step Four: Breach of Contract
Part V. Step Five: Plaintiff’s Remedies for the Defendant’s Breach of Contract
Part VI. Step Six: Third Party Interests
A new feature of the third edition is the reintroduction of the road map at the beginning of each chapter. The material covered in the chapter is highlighted on the road map. This will help students relate the chapters to each other.
Students lea that the rules of law are not unrelated rules that must be memorized in the abstract but are related and form a cohesive structure. A change of one rule may, therefore, have an impact on the other rules of the
structure.
