Excerpt from Selection of Cases Illustrative of the Law of Contract: Based on the Collection of G. B. Finch The late Mr G. B. Finch, after long experience at the bar, in London, accepted in Cambridge the duties of an academical teacher of law. Wishing to adopt the methods of the Harvard Law School, which he had visited, he prepared and published a collection of judicial decisions on the law of Contract. After his death, a second edition of this work, enhanced in value by the care and learning of Mr R. T. Wright and Professor W. W. Buckland, was issued in 1896. It has long been out of print, and even second-hand copies of it can seldom be obtained. The desirability of its reproduction has thus been obvious. But, under present commercial conditions, a volume of dimensions so large could not be published except at a prohibitive cost. Under these circumstances, the Cambridge University Press, as proprietors of the copyright, decided that the book should again be made accessible; but in a form so abridged that its price should not place it beyond the reach of the ordinary student. The Syndics, with the kind and ready consent of Mr Wright and Professor Buckland, entrusted to me the preparation of the proposed work. I have omitted only those very few decisions that seem to have lost their authority or their interest. By the generous permission of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting, I have been enabled to insert various cases that have been decided since the edition of 1896 was published. Most of the cases contained in that edition I have abridged greatly; but without much detriment, I hope, to their educational value. To some of the judgments I have added brief annotations; to explain or to develop the doctrines they establish. And, as questions of the Interpretation of Contracts arise so frequently in legal practice, I have introduced a chapter upon that subject. I have also added a few decisions upon the Assignment of Contracts. The net result is to give the student, in a volume of moderate dimensions, the pith of the facts and law of some two hundred and forty reported cases. In abridging the reports, I have been careful to preserve in each a clear presentation (either by the unsuccessful counsel or by a dissentient judge) of the arguments in support of that view which ultimately did not prevail.

Excerpt from Illustrative Cases in Contracts This collection of cases has been made for use in the classroom in connection with my lectures upon the subject of Contracts. Being "illustrative" of the principles considered, I have deemed it desirable to select American cases rather than English, as the student will find an advantage in being particularly familiar with the reports of his own country in the early days of his practice. English authorities, however, are not ignored. They are frequently cited in the notes and much more frequently in the lectures, it being our object to familiarize the pupil with the history and growth of each principle to which we direct his attention. The cases printed have been selected from the Supreme Court Reports of the United States and from those of twenty-one of the different States of the Union. In treating of the Statute of Frauds, the cases have been selected necessarily from a comparatively few State Reports, because the statute varies so much in the different States that what is authority in one might not be in another. Wherever the student practises, he must consult the statute of his own State; but the cases in this volume will give him a general view of its most important features.

Excerpt from Selected Cases on the Law of Contracts: With Annotations To present any subject of the law by means of cases, is only to follow out the idea of Lord Coke, that the reporting of particular cases is the most perspicuous course of teaching the right rule and reason of law; but in studying the law by such cases, the caution of Lord Mansfield is to be observed, that the law does not consist of particular cases, but of general principles, which are illustrated and explained by those cases. This book has been prepared for the purpose of presenting the general principles of the Law of Contracts, by the study of selected cases, which illustrate and explain different parts of that subject. The cases selected, with one exception, have been taken from the decisions of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. This course has its disadvantage, no doubt, in that perhaps a greater variety of fact and discussion might have been obtained by taking other American or English cases, but it has its advantage, in that it gives a connected view of the whole subject in one jurisdiction. It is not intended to give the law of one jurisdiction exclusively, for. It will be found that the principles of the Law of Contract are the same in all the States which have adopted the common law, and even the statutory changes are similar in many respects. While the student is learning the general law of the subject, he is, at the same time, becoming thoroughly familiar with the decisions of his own State, or of a court which has always met with the highest consideration. This court has been in existence for a cent ury, and almost every important question in the Law of Contracts has come before it in some form for discussion. Its judges have been men-of approved learning and ability. Its views have al ways been conservative; and perhaps in no other State have the principles of the common law been more closely observed.

Contract Law And Theory written by Eric A. Posner and has been published by Kluwer Law International this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011 with Law categories.
Contract Law and Theory conveys a grasp of theory and policy that makes all of the contract rules easier to understand. By explaining and applying contract theory to a wide range of contracts cases, Eric Posner reveals not only the "what" of doctrine but also the "why"--why one rule rather than another makes sense from a policy perspective. An understanding of what contract theory is and how it is applied will help you to understand not only Contracts, as taught in law school, but also the many areas of law in which contractual ideas operate, such as bankruptcy law, secured transactions, and corporate law. An exciting new Student Treatise from an eminent authority, Contract Law and Theory features: Complete coverage of contracts that includes the principal cases covered in most first-year contracts courses A general explication of the rules of contract that begins with the simplest ideas and gradually builds in complexity A consistent emphasis on the application of theory to doctrine, through analysis of a rich selection of cases A readable and expert treatment of the role of economics in contract law Illustrative examples that point to noteworthy cases Suitable for use alongside any casebook
