From time to time I asked to recommend a reading supplement for this
course. Here
is a fairly comprehensive list of the contract law supplements
currently on the market. Beyond this, I can only offer the following
thoughts:
1. None of these supplements forms any part of the assigned
materials for this course. They will not be discussed in class or
tested on the exam. On the other hand, you are responsible for
reading and understanding all of the assigned materials for this
course. Using a supplement, even one keyed to the Knapp casebook, as
a substitute or shortcut for reading the assignments, would be a
poor way to begin your legal education and career. If you are using
a supplement properly, it will represent additional reading and
additional study time taken out of a very time-constrained semester,
and an additional cost. I do not recommend it, but you are in the
best position to assess your time and learning style.
2. As you are in the best position to assess your time and
learning style, only you are in a position to choose the supplement,
if any, that would be most helpful to you. You and I have very
different backgrounds, perspectives and reasons for reading in the
area of contract law. These differences are already indicated in the
fact that you are seeking a supplement to a textbook I consider
sufficient. Perusing the offerings in the library and online and
offline retailers, borrowing supplements from classmates, and
consulting your Dean's Fellows may prove fruitful. Or just click on
the link and pick a supplement at random. They all have value; I
simply have no way of knowing how much value any of them would have for you.
