In Contract Law, we examine the black letter rules of contract law most commonly tested on the MBE and in law school. By combining a simple approach to legal learning with the innovative appeal of an audio study aid, Contract Law provides you with a concise overview of the subject matter in a way that makes it easy to learn, understand, and memorize. Contract Law also includes numerous hypothetical examples and analyses to help you apply the rules of law to any given fact patterns.

Key topics include:

• Applicable law (common law versus UCC)
• Contract formation (offer and acceptance, consideration, modification)
• Offers (advertisements, termination of offers, irrevocable offers)
• The mailbox rule
• Statute of frauds
• Defenses to contract formation (illegality, lack of capacity, duress, unconscionability, misrepresentation, mistake)
• Parol evidence rule
• Warranties
• Material breach rule under the common law
• Perfect tender rule under the UCC
• Anticipatory repudiation
• Discharge of duties (rescission, release, accord and satisfaction)
• Third party involvement (third party beneficiaries, assignments, delegation, novation)
• Breach of contract remedies (damages, specific performance)
• Bonus examples

helpful

very convenient, you can learn any where compare with. the written text book. the content is easy to understand.

chapter titles

I wish the chapter titles focused on topic vice "chapter #" in the table of contents. The narrative and explanations were all very good.

Good Review with even better examples

I’m studying for the bar exam but have been out of law school for about five years. This was a good refresher of Contract law and the examples at the end were even more helpful. While doing a practice exam essay (which was an actual essay question on the bar exam from 2014), the fact pattern was reflected in one the examples from the audio outline. It helped me identify the issue and I knew the answer. I highly recommend.

Only two cons: (1) the notes they play between each chapter is kinda annoying. I felt there was a better way to break up each chapter and example. (2) you can hear the narrater breath (take a breath) way too clearly. It’s almost as loud as his narration.

good overview

information given is more general than in depth, but it is a nice refresher. Definitely need an additional sources for defenses against contract formation and breach, especially mistake.

Good summary to listen to in car or @ gym.

Good summary to listen to in car or @ gym. Sonething to listen to when you can't study for bar.
