Bring the expertise of America's foremost authority on contracts into your practice with this comprehensive three-volume set. Farnsworth on Contracts, Third Edition is where doctrine meets practice. Busy practitioners count on Farnsworth's proven ability to identify the essentials and omit extraneous material. His comprehensive coverage of the full range of contract law answers questions in hundreds of important areas, including:

  • Good faith and fair dealing
  • Precontractual liability
  • Agreements to negotiate
  • Vienna Convention on International Sales Contracts
  • UNIDROIT principles
  • Constitututional issues
  • Settlement of disputed claims by check
  • Options and rights of first refusal
  • Employee handbooks
  • Covenants not to compete
  • Self-help measures

Farnsworth illustrates how contemporary contract law has been shaped by both the Restatement (Second) of Contracts -- for which he served as Reporter -- and the Uniform Commercial Code. Easy access to specifics, new cases, new drafting tips, new references, and timesaving features like cross-referenced cases and marginal headings make this three-volume set a valuable resource for contracts research and practice, including litigation and arbitration. Farnsworth on Contracts, Third Edition is the most authoritative contracts treatise available.
