Summary

"The first three chapters of this book introduce and articulate basic concepts about contract law and the American1 legal system. Many of the principles and concepts introduced in these three initial chapters appear frequently throughout the book. The purpose of including them here is to form a grounding for legal analysis and to identify themes that run through contract law. This discussion emphasizes that learning the law is more than learning rules. Rules do not exist in a vacuum but must be understood in light of historical perspective, public policy, legal theory, and the legal process"-- Provided by publisher.
