Teaching Contract: My Way

What is magnificent about this idea is that it combines for posterity both David’s talents:  here is not just profound scholarship, but also his method of teaching.  This work’s influence on a generation of teachers of law should be profound.  Unlike journal articles or textbook chapters, these chapters draw you in inexorably, so you become part of the conversation between professor and student.  As would be expected, they are warm, wise, disciplined and depth-finding. 

Sir Stephen Kós, extract from Foreword to Teaching Contract Law: My Way 
Teaching Contract Law: My Way is the first of two volumes in which Professor David McLaughlin seeks to explain and illustrate his approach to teaching the law of contract.

This is a book for all readers of law - from students early in their legal development to members of the profession and even the judiciary who need a refreshed reference to the law of contract.  It is a testament to Professor McLauchlan's commitment to this great subject  , and the thousands of students who have passed through his courses.
