Contracts, Third Edition is where doctrine meets practice. Busy
practitioners count on Farnsworth's proven ability to identify the essentials
and omit extraneous material. His comprehensive coverage of the full range of
contract law answers questions in hundreds of important areas, including:
-
Good faith and fair dealing

Precontractual liability

Farnsworth illustrates how contemporary contract law has been shaped by both
the Restatement (Second) of Contracts -- for which he served as Reporter --
and the Uniform Commercial Code. Easy access to specifics, new cases, new
drafting tips, new references, and timesaving features like cross-referenced
cases and marginal headings make this three-volume set a valuable resource for
contracts research and practice, including litigation and arbitration.
