Through the road map concept, students learn about contract formation, determining the applicable law, unenforceable contracts and breach of contract. The text cuts through excess verbiage and outdated doctrine, ensuring that students gain a solid understanding of the material. The rules of law are developed through presentation of theory, followed by an example and a paralegal exercise.
