Book Description
This book brings contract law to life through contemporary problems to help students build a skill set they can use in practice.

This book pickpockets life for real-world documents and contemporary situations, like the pandemic, to help students learn how contract law works in practice. Each chapter provides concise discussion of a specific topic or issue in contract law and a realistic, documented problem that provides a base for students and enough material for traditional Socratic method teaching.

Stories from art, sports and Internet games make the contract concepts vivid and memorable to facilitate student engagement and productive classroom discussion.
