Nygren begins by discussing how studying contracts is different from studying any other course. A discussion of mutal assent, which includes offer, revocation, termination and acceptance, is followed by a short section on consideration and promissory estoppel. Two sections on defenses to contract cover defenses that were available at the time of the making of the contract, and those which became available after the time of the contract making. The final two chapters introduce the reader to multi-issue exam questions.
