Legal thinkers typically justify contract law on the basis of economics or promissory morality. But Peter Benson takes another approach. He argues that contract is best explained as a transfer of rights governed by a conception of justice. The result is a comprehensive theory of contract law congruent with Rawlsian liberalism.

The third edition of this well-respected text presents a "road-map" approach for thinking about contract problems. Steps include choice of law, contract formation, unenforceable contracts, breach of contract, and plaintiffs' remedies. The rules of the law are presented first as theory, followed by an example and either a paralegal exercise or a case, so that students can relate the abstract to a concrete set of facts. The text also teaches students how to analyze a contract problem using common law and a code approach (articles 1 and 2 of the UCC).
