About this listen

What, exactly, are you doing when you agree to a contract? Should courts blindly enforce fine print that nobody ever reads? Where’s the line between salesmanship and outright fraud? Should written contracts carry more weight than verbal ones?

Join Professor Horton for an accessible introduction from contract essentials, including offers, acceptances, counteroffers, and options and defenses, to contract enforcement, such as fraud, duress, and unconscionability. In lectures that demystify concepts and terms that can often seem intimidating to individuals outside of legal fields, you’ll better understand (and navigate) the contracts of everyday life.

Legal concepts come alive in court cases that range from the outrageous to the heart-rending to the ridiculous. Among the many cases you’ll examine are those involving a contract for the sale of a farm written on a piece of scratch paper, a young man who claimed a soda company owed him a fighter jet, and two companies that couldn’t agree on the meaning of the word "chicken".

Professor Horton shatters the stereotype of contract law as dry and complex and transforms it into a profoundly accessible learning experience. The result is an education in contract law - and in the American legal system - that’s unlike anything you’ll find outside a top-tier law school.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Contract Law

This book helps to make the class make more sense. I giggled when the professor said this is fun. I thought, "said no law school student, EVER!" but he really does make it fun.

Excellent Resource

Excellent lectures to further my study of contract law. I’m enrolled in a Business Law undergraduate course. The chapter titles and accompanying PDF are excellent references. I highly recommend.

GREAT!

Best Great Course! Subject is close to average person experiences of trying to make fair agreements with others and dealing with corporations. This means both that the courtroom drama is interesting and that the average person is already partly familiar with the concepts. The subject is also filled with important concrete sourced information and no speculation is needed to fill an audiobook. Author writes clearly and engagingly. Performer reads clearly and without any unnecessary pauses, unlike many GC.

Fantastic

Listened in one go over a long roadtrip, was captivated the entire time. Professor Horton changed my view on contracts and I actually find it interesting now.

Informative, plain spoken, a good deep dive.

I wouldn’t recommend as a first course, there’s quite a bit of legal jargon, but it is a easily understood and well explained breakdown of contracts and navigation of contract law.

A great audiobook

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age like myself. I found this book exciting and entertaining and highly recommend this book.
