Helped understand 1L contracts course
Funny, comprehensive and thorough coverage of the basics of contract law.
This does a good job of applying contract law to everyday scenarios.
This pairs well with the Contracts textbook that Epstein, Markell and Ponoroff wrote. Definitely recommend it for 1L Contracts class.
This is an awesome study aide to use with the textbook. I read it all the day before my contracts final and got a B (I didn’t study as much as I should’ve.) I recommend reading this book after reading the corresponding chapter in the textbook. With your textbook and this study aide you should be a-okay. Also don’t forget to practice with essays and mcq after each lesson that you learn. The harder you work throughout the semester, the less you will freak out during reading week. Good luck!
This book is an excellent supplement for any law student. My only issue is that there are numerous grammatical errors; it was not thoroughly edited prior to publishing.
Literally the short and happy guide. Everything you need to know to organize your notes, cases, and understanding of contracts to ace your 1L contracts exam. Doesn’t provide EVERYTHING you need to know but does give a great framework.
This was helpful. The authors explain complicated doctrines in a simple and concise way. Thank you. Hopefully I’ll feel the same when I get my grade back.
