State Bar Contract Law Book
Focuses on Basics
For more information on the validity of written contract alternatives
and the formation of written contracts in Wisconsin, attorneys
may want to turn to the State Bar's book Contract Law
in Wisconsin. The book clarifies and simplifies the basics
of contract law from a Wisconsin perspective.
Contract Law offers guidance on fundamental topics
such as formation, breach, the statute of frauds, modifications
and amendments, specific performance, and rescission. Although
primarily based on Wisconsin cases and statutes, Contract
Law also discusses differences and similarities between state
statutory law and the Uniform Commercial Code. The chapter on
general drafting principles is especially useful for those seeking
practical information on creating a written contract.
A revised edition of Contract Law in Wisconsin is scheduled
for publication in March 2000. In addition to the latest information
on contract basics, the revised edition will contain a new chapter
on electronic contracts.
The current edition of Contract Law in Wisconsin is
available through the State Bar for $125 (plus shipping and handling),
which includes the 1999 supplement. Current owners will be sent
the update automatically if they are on the automatic supplementation
service, or may order just the update.
