Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.



This comprehensive Advanced Introduction provides an overview of contract law and contemporary contract theory. Demonstrating that an understanding of theory and policy is a vital aspect of being an effective practicing lawyer, Brian H. Bix explores the various theoretical approaches which can best explain and justify contract law, arguing for greater critical attention to the connections between contract law theory, practice, and teaching.

  • Includes detailed Restatement, UCC and case references

  • Analyses the strengths and weakness of a variety of theoretical approaches

  • Examines contract law formation, interpretation, performance, the right of duties of third persons, and remedies



The Advanced Introduction to Contract Law and Theory will be an invaluable resource for students wanting to understand contract law and its theoretical underpinnings. It will also prove an essential guide for scholars seeking an authoritative guide to current doctrine and debates in the field of contract law.

Industry Reviews
'In Advanced Introduction to Contract Law and Theory, Brian Bix has accomplished the rare feat of providing an introduction to both contract doctrine and the normative debates that swirl around that law that speaks to both students and scholars in the field. He manages to clearly explain both the complexities of the law and the difficult theoretical debates that contract doctrine has sparked in ways that will engage beginners and challenge experts in the field.' -- Nathan B. Oman, College of William & Mary, US
'Doctrine, legal philosophy and law-in-action: to understand contracts, we need all three of these bodies of knowledge. Moreover, we need a willingness to recognize inconsistencies. Add Brian Bix's talents in each of these areas plus his skill as a writer, and you have a fine book.' -- Stewart Macaulay, University of Wisconsin-Madison, US
