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

Seattle University Law Review

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.
