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 (2011 ed.) [hereinafter Supp. or Supplement], which many students find handy. You can certainly manage without the Supplement by using alternative sources like older editions or online sources or materials scattered throughout the Casebook, but doing so may require some additional time to locate the correct materials.
First Class Readings
Before the first class (Monday, August 22), prepare pages 61-72 in the Casebook. “Prepare” means you should read the assigned materials and brief each case using the following headings in your case brief, to the extent possible: Facts, Procedural History, Issue(s), Holding(s), and Reasoning. To help prepare your brief, first view the PowerPoint posted on the course website on my.WCL; I will also explain case briefing in our orientation session (Wednesday, August 17) and will respond to questions then. In addition, for the first class, you should do the problems on page 72 and should read the syllabus (it too is posted on my.WCL). You may wish to get started on the assignment for the second class (Wednesday, August 24) by preparing pages 193-202 in the Casebook.
