This overview of contract law explains concepts clearly and concisely, in an informal, humorous style. For ease of reading and understanding, the book omits footnotes that often increase the difficulty and complexity of the issues. Instead, the footnotes cite cases, with most including short quotations to substantiate assertions made in the text. It also contains numerous examples and illustrations, often with the reader assigned a role in the problem, on the theory that the reader will be most interested and attentive with something at stake. Cross references enable review concepts that constitute building blocks for the current material.

This text seeks to answer the two main questions relating to contract law: What promises does society enforce, and why does it enforce them? Writing in a clear and concise way, Hillman provides a great overview of the daunting area of contract law with numerous illustrations.

This book covers the main topics of contract law typically treated in a first-year law school course on the subject, and handles topics such as bargain theory, fraud, remedies, contract interpretation, breach of contract, grounds for excusing performance, and third parties.
