This casebook, continues where Prof. RicksÕ casebook ÒThe Story of Contract Law: FormationÓ ends. In the cases studied in this volume, courts continue to discern and police the bargain of the parties. Of course, the meaning of ÒfairÓ will depend on the goals of the court; contract doctrine, like most legal doctrine, lies at the level of generality (not too general, not too specific) that allows the plurality of views necessary for a legal system comprising diverse and strong-willed individuals to function. This volume allows students to explore arguments for and against fairness based on autonomy, welfare, and other moral claims.
