For the lawyers on here...

Why oh why do K casebooks have to be so shoved full of real property cases from the 1890s? They're nearly incomprehensible. I realize it's necessary to give a somewhat rounded-out view of the progression of classic K law, but seriously...

There are only two contracts cases that you need to know...

The one with the hairy hand skin graft and the one where the guy defaults on his contract to kill someone else.

Those are the only two that keep coming up at my job, anyway....

The Hadley v. Baxter case is pretty funny... well, not funny. Interesting. It caused the poor guy a lot of trauma over his life and his hand never healed properly. He had a scarred but functional hand... and got a drippy, hairy, nasty hand. Thank goodness skin grafts have become more sophisticated.

Stop reading the cases. Buy Case Note Briefs for the text you have and use their analysis for your outline. PUt it in your own words and you'll be fine.

Implied performance? Hooray. Ugh... After a 1-semester K course, I'm tempted to never enter a K again.

LOL. First year does that to you. Torts made me paranoid about ice on my sidewalk.

Stop writing "k" instead of contract. I can let it slide once, but twice in one post, you are trying too hard. You are in law school, congrats already. k?

There are trying to keep you entertained. I hated contracts in law school and thought it was very dry, though I did well in the class. In practice, however, I love contract cases of all kinds. I think there is more room for creative lawyering than in most other categories.
