Review Of The Choice Theory Of Contracts, Nicolas Cornell
Reviews
This book aims to provide a new approach to thinking about the role of contract law in a liberal state.

Review Of Cases On Contracts, By G. P. Costigan, Ralph W. Aigler
Review Of Cases On Contracts, By G. P. Costigan, Ralph W. Aigler
Reviews
Professor Aigler notes that other works on the subject have appeared in the past year, such as a collection of cases on contracts in the American Casebook Series by Professor Corbin and the new edition of Williston's Cases on Contracts.

His verdict: "How well Professor Costigan's book will work out as the basis of instruction only actual use can tell. A careful examination of the book, however, has satisfied the reviewer that it would be interesting to try it."
