JC Smith's The Law of Contract provides a superb overview of all the
key areas of contract law, making it ideal for use on all undergraduate
courses. A focus on key cases acts as a springboard into analysis and
critical discussion, and useful further reading recommendations provide
students with a foundation for independent research.
The book is easily navigated as chapters are kept short, with key points
outlining the main concepts and topics broken down by regular headings.
These work as a useful signpost, and revision checklist.
Particular attention is paid to supporting assessment; each chapter ends
with either an essay or problem-based question - guidance on how to
answer these questions is given online, alongside a range of
assessment-focused online resources, including a number of essay
attempts from real students 'marked' by the author to give students
insights into what examiners are looking for, and interactive self-test
questions which provide instant feedback.
