Foundations of Contract Law

This is part of a series of readers designed as supplementary texts in introductory law school courses. This collection of 56 readings is designed to introduce students to current contracts scholarship. The wide range of readings presents the core contributions of economics, philosophy, critical legal studies, and other disciplines. The readings are not abstract essays, however, but emphasize the application of these approaches to contested issues in every area of contract law, from contract formation to remedies for breach. Notes on each topic raise further issues for discussion.
