 Fantastic - The Best Contracts Case Book September 3, 2007
I've noticed that the gentleman before me wrote a scathing review of Professor Murray's book, noting the typographical errors. While it is true that there are typos - I blame the editors at Lexis - as it is their job to fix such things. Professor Murray's treatment of Uniform Commercial Code sec. 2-207 is brilliantly done, in fact, any of his editorial material is so good that one need not use a supplement. I do wonder why the previous reviewer takes note of the case selection - it really doesn't matter which cases are selected, as long as they are relevant to the topic at hand, and seeing as Professor Murray is perhaps the premier Contracts professor and scholar in the United States today - one would imagine that they are relevant. Rules are more important than cases - unless you go to a law school that, for some reason wants you to cite cases in your exam (with the exception of perhaps Constitutional Law) - you won't be dealing much with specific cases at all. The book is very well done, and written in such a way that it can be easily understood.
 Worst. Book. Ever. August 23, 2006

Good grief. You'd think after five editions Professor Murray could at least get rid of some of the typographical errors in this book. Wrong. It's chock full o' badness. The cases he chose are truly bizarre; sure, there are the fair share of the old standards (Carbolic Smokeball, "the burned and hairy hand," etc.) but the others seem like he took a random jaunt through Lexis and threw darts. Oh, did I mention that Lexis published this book? They definitely farmed it out to the lowest-bidding binder, because three weeks into the fall semester (of a yearlong Contracts course) this book simply fell apart. The binding just sort of ceased to exist. Save yourself a boatload of money and if your professor chooses this book, BUY IT USED! You can get it for about 99 cents, and that's about what it's worth. There are also no supplements out there for this book; evidently no supplement author wanted to waste his time trying to key an outline to this worthless and hopefully not-oft-used text.
