Kuney, Lloyd, and Byars's Contracts: Transactions and Litigation, 6th

This text covers the materials used in a two-semester Contracts course and a Sales course covering U.C.C. Article 2. It blends classic common law contract cases with 21st-century opinions and draws heavily upon the problem method of instruction. It compares, contrasts, and explores the evolution of the common law of contracts, the Restatement (Second) of the Law of Contracts, Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts. It emphasizes the importance of context to the application of legal principles and discusses the overlap between the knowledge and skills of a litigator and those of a transactional attorney. The sixth edition includes a new chapter on capacity, offers new problems, and covers developments in contract interpretation, performance defenses, and other topics in the wake of the technological progress in the twenty-first century.
