Features: The common law system, also known as the Anglo-American legal system, primarily relies on case law as its legal source, with countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and others as its main representatives. Case law has played a significant role in the history and present of these countries, exerting a major influence and shaping the direction of their politics, culture, and economy. Some cases have even had a profound impact on the development of global legal culture. This book is written by renowned professors and experts from prestigious universities in China, such as Tsinghua University, China University of Political Science and Law, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and East China University of Political Science and Law, who are experts in legal English. In terms of content, it first provides a general introduction to contract law, then offers engaging introductions to each classic case, followed by the original Anglo-American case law (or selected excerpts), with annotations for difficult or obscure vocabulary. This approach not only gives readers a comprehensive understanding of the law but also helps them quickly grasp contract law. The combination of Chinese and English also reduces the burden of reading, balancing learning and enjoyment while ensuring a well-paced and appropriately challenging experience.
