A favorite among successful students, and often recommended by professors, the unique Examples & Explanations series gives you extremely clear introductions to concepts followed by realistic examples that mirror those presented in the classroom throughout the semester. Use at the beginning and midway through the semester to deepen your understanding through clear explanations, corresponding hypothetical fact patterns, and analysis. Then use to study for finals by reviewing the hypotheticals as well as the structure and reasoning behind the accompanying analysis. Designed to complement your casebook, the trusted Examples & Explanations titles get right to the point in a conversational, often humorous style that helps you learn the material each step of the way and prepare for the exam at the end of the course. The unique, time-tested Examples & Explanations series is invaluable to teach yourself the subject from the first day of class until your last review before the final. Each guide: helps you learn new material by working through chapters that explain each topic in simple language challenges your understanding with hypotheticals similar to those presented in class provides valuable opportunity to study for the final by reviewing the hypotheticals as well as the structure and reasoning behind the corresponding analysis quickly gets to the point in conversational style laced with humor remains a favorite among law school students is often recommended by professors who encourage the use of study guides works with ALL the major casebooks, suits any class on a given topic provides an alternative perspective to help you understand your casebook and in-class lectures Review: A must read - Very, very helpful book. I used this book my first year of law school and it truly helped me master contracts. I would first of all recommend to read the book before the semester starts, because during the semester you won't have that much time. If you didn't have a chance to read it before, definitely read it during the semester, just remember that whatever your professor says...goes. There were not that many concepts that my professor disagreed with this book on, but it's important to remember that. As a gift, I sent the author my book, "Let's LSAT". It was my way of saying thanks. Review: I improved two letter grades after purchasing this book - This book was amazing! I wanted to write my review after our grades were released since, as you know, law classes do not provide a measure of your success throughout different intervals in the semester. The E&E helped me with analyses and seeing things in the bigger picture. While I admit that I changed several studying/social habits in my spring semester, I'm pretty sure that the E&E book is a major factor as to why I jumped from a D+ (fall) to a B (spring). I highly recommend this book and look forward to purchasing the E&E series for my upcoming semesters. Good luck to you.

Useful, but wordy.
This text provides in-depth discussion of Contracts. It is probably more thorough than your professor, but you can pick and choose which sections you want to read. It's not set up so that you must read the entire thing front he start. They have a case index that can be useful if you want to see what you're reading is in the book. Additionally, the general index in the back is extremely helpful. My only critique is that one subject might be discussed in multiple sections of the book, causing you to flip lots of pages and speed read quite a bit. However, it's a useful tool if you find yourself to be struggling with contracts!

Amazing if Paired with Contracts by Blum & Bushaw!
This was my first semester trying the Examples and Explanation series and I loved it! I was fortunate enough to have the casebook written by Blum, the author of this supplement, and reading this book substantially helped with a deeper understanding of the subject. Even if using a different Contracts casebook, I would still recommend this supplement.

Awesome Assistance
Drastically helped me with my Contracts I & II courses in my first year of law school. If you are studying for an exam this will go a long ways in helping you. Also a great compliment to whatever text books you are using in your class to just help you understand the fundamentals of a contract better.

Very helpful.
If you are studying for the FYLE this is a must have. It cuts through a lot of confusion and gets to the point. Furthermore, the examples are very close to some of the fact patterns on the exams I have already taken. I wish I would have had this at the beginning of 1L.

Very helpful
Helped me book Contracts! Couldn't have done as well without this book. It is basically described in the title. It explains an area of law and then it lets you test out your understanding. Then it explains the answer.
