Contract Law and Theory, Hardcover by Scott, Robert E.; Kraus, Jody S., ISBN 076984894X, ISBN-13 9780769848945, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US In this cas for law students, Scott and Kraus (law, Columbia University) offer a functional analysis of contract law. Legal rules are explained against a background of legal theory to help the student develop a working model of contract law; this framework for analyzing and predicting the outcome of contract disputes is then tested through case and doctrinal analysis. The cas also takes a policy approach by looking at the purposes of various legal rules in the cases and statutes and discussing whether various policy goals are desirable. Students are also exposed to the economics perspective through discussion of how the legal rules are likely to influence the behavior of similarly situated parties in the future. This fifth edition considers claims of fairness along with norms of efficiency and autonomy. New cases reflect current development in the areas of precontractual liability, preliminary agreements, and collaborative contract. This edition has been rewritten for clarity.
