* offers significant treatment of the CISG
* maintains the Fifth Edition¿s reflection of complexity of current 21st century contract law with its varied strains and constant flux
* provides three accompanying ancillaries: 1. an outstanding, detailed Teacher¿s Manual with sample syllabi for various credit courses, sample lesson plans, specific questions, and detailed analyses of all problems in the book 2. a companion statutory and case supplement: Rules of Contract Law, 2007¿2008 Edition (available August 2007) 3. a website with related material for instructors¿ use
Many updates make this an even more valuable source for your classroom. The Sixth Edition:

* reorganizes chapters 2 and 3 dealing with the traditional basis for contract formation and liability under other theories
* presents new material examining the strains increasingly exerted on the conventional contract law system over the past 10-15 years by new forms of contracting (electronic, etc.) and by the increased use of mandatory arbitration clauses in mass adhesion contracting (e.g., banks, communications providers, hospitals)
* provides increased flexibility for professors who prefer to reorder the chapters rather than teach them in a more linear sequence
* shortens the notes, relocating student-oriented material to the website and professor-oriented material to the Teacher¿s Manual
