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.
