Textbooks and Other Materials
The textbook information on this page was provided by the instructor. Students should use this information when considering purchases from the AU Campus Store or other vendors. Students may check to determine if books are currently available for purchase online.
You are required to use Randy E. Barnett, Contracts: Cases and Doctrine (4th ed. 2008) [hereinafter Casebook].
You may also choose to buy Steven J. Burton & Melvin A. Eisenberg, Contract Law: Selected Source Materials (2010 ed.) [hereinafter Supp. or Supplement], which many students find handy. You can certainly manage without the Supplement by using alternative sources, but doing so may require some additional time. See the first List of Assignments for more details.
