For paralegal students, this text provides a functional approach to the law of contracts. To make the law more clear, the text sets out a "road map" for analyzing breach-of-contract causes of action in which students answer five questions: What law applies to this transaction? Has a contract been formed? Is the contract enforceable? Has the contract been breached? What remedies are available? The text also explores third-party interests in the contract. Martin Frey teaches law at the U. of Oklahoma, and Phyllis Hurley Frey is in private practice. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
