Contract Law (2nd ed)

Cambridge University Press has published the second edition of Contract Law by Professor Neil Andrews.

Significantly streamlined and updated, the second edition of Andrews' Contract Law now provides a clear and succinct examination of all of the topics in the contract law curriculum. Chapters direct students to the most important decisions in case law and employ a two-level structure to integrate short judicial excerpts into detailed discussion and analysis. Exploration of the law's 'loose ends' strengthens students' ability to effectively analyse case law, and new end-of-chapter questions, which focus on both core aspects of the law and interesting legal loopholes, assist students in preparing for exams. Students are guided through chapter material by concise chapter overviews and a two-colour text design that highlights important chapter elements. Suggestions for further reading and a rich bibliography, which point readers to important pieces of contemporary literature and provide a springboard for deeper investigation of particular topics, lend further support for student learning.

The text includes:

• Coverage of good faith, codification and international and European soft law codes has been streamlined into three new distinct chapters, to improve clarity and allow instructors to more effectively cover these topics in their classes
• Analysis of the law's grey areas and 'loose ends' effectively prepares students for the types of questions they are likely to encounter in law examinations
• Chapter overviews ensure that students obtain a basic understanding of chapter topics before encountering more detailed discussion and analysis
• An emphasis on the most important and key cases in contract law enables students to focus on and master the central cases without becoming overwhelmed
