Gender Inequality In Contracts Casebooks: Representations Of Women In The Contracts Curriculum, Deborah Zalesne Jan 2023

Gender Inequality In Contracts Casebooks: Representations Of Women In The Contracts Curriculum, Deborah Zalesne

FIU Law Review

Gender has always explicitly or implicitly played a critical role in contracting and in contracts opinions—from the early nineteenth century, when married women lacked the legal capacity altogether to contract, through the next century, when women gained the right to contract but continued to lack bargaining power and to be disadvantaged in the bargaining process in many cases, to today, when women are present in greater numbers in business and commerce, but face continued, yet less overt, obstacles. Typical casebooks provide ample offerings for discussions of the ways in which parties can be and have been disadvantaged because of their …


Tension And Reconciliation In Canadian Contract Law Casebooks, David Sandomierski Oct 2017

Tension And Reconciliation In Canadian Contract Law Casebooks, David Sandomierski

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Canadian common law contract law casebooks are beset with a tension. On the one hand, they all reveal a sustained commitment to the “wholesale assault on the jurisprudence of forms, concepts, and rules” that typifies American Legal Realism and its intellectual descendants. Concern with underlying values, functional reasoning, social realities, and policy thinking pervades the explicit messages of Canadian contract law casebooks and their editors’ related writings. On the other hand, the two casebooks most frequently assigned embody an allegiance to rules and courts that has a close kinship with the classical attitudes purportedly rejected. They convey a monolithic image …

A Casebook For All Seasons? Cases And Materials On Contracts, 5th Edition By E. Allan Farnsworth & William F. Young, Geoffrey R. Watson Jan 1997

A Casebook For All Seasons? Cases And Materials On Contracts, 5th Edition By E. Allan Farnsworth & William F. Young, Geoffrey R. Watson

Seattle University Law Review

By any measure, Farnsworth & Young's <em>Cases and Materials on Contracts</em> is one of the leading American casebooks on contracts, perhaps the leading casebook. Part I of this Review considers the book's merits as a tool for teaching contract doctrine. In this respect the book excels. Part II considers it as a tool for introducing students to broader perspectives on contract law. In this respect the book's success is somewhat less complete.


An Agnostic's Bible Contract And Related Obligation: Theory, Doctrine, And Practice, 3d Edition By Robert S. Summers And Robert A. Hillman, Sidney W. Delong Jan 1997

An Agnostic's Bible Contract And Related Obligation: Theory, Doctrine, And Practice, 3d Edition By Robert S. Summers And Robert A. Hillman, Sidney W. Delong

Seattle University Law Review

A casebook's warranties appear in its preface. In their Preface to the First Edition, the authors of Contract and Related Obligation (CRO) undertook to do the following: (1) acquaint the student with the lawyer's role in contractual relations; (2) stress the “private-made” character of much of what we call law; (3) expose students to many different theories about contract; (4) renew the waning practice of “dialectical” teaching by using largely unedited principal cases, and by eschewing summaries and textual notes; (5) reveal the many extra-legal sources of law, including moral, political, and economic reasoning; and (6) offer more general insights …


Intention In Tension Contracts, Cases And Doctrine By Randy E. Barnett, Kellye Y. Testy Jan 1997

Intention In Tension Contracts, Cases And Doctrine By Randy E. Barnett, Kellye Y. Testy

Seattle University Law Review

In discussing the choice of Barnett's casebook, this Review focuses on two central pedagogical goals, and describe how Barnett's casebook has either helped or hindered the reviewer's ability to accomplish those goals. Those goals are to actively assist students in (1) learning basic (accepted) contract doctrines and methods of analyzing contract issues; and (2) developing a critical stance toward law in general, and contract law in particular.


Reflections On Barnett's Contracts, Cases And Doctrine, Michael B. Kelly Jan 1997

Reflections On Barnett's Contracts, Cases And Doctrine, Michael B. Kelly

Seattle University Law Review

Randy Barnett's Contracts, Cases and Doctrine presents a relatively straightforward set of teaching materials, aptly chosen for modern teaching techniques. Careful exposition of fundamentals permits professors to use class time more productively. The concentration on fundamentals also frees the professor to choose the specific elaborations she finds most valuable for the class or the material.
