Randy E. Barnett is the Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Legal Theory at Georgetown University Law Center. He has taught courses on contracts, constitutional law, torts, and cyber law, among other subjects at many prestigious schools, including Harvard and the University of Chicago. Professor Barnett is an expert in the field of contract law and has written many books and articles, including major contract publications for Aspen and Princeton University Press.

"Professor Barnett's book offers a unique -and uniquely valuable-tool for students and teachers of contract law alike. It succeeds in introducing the law of contract in a way which makes it accessible, interesting, and philosophically rich." -- Dori Kimel, Reader in legal philosophy, University of Oxford University Press"This book is a masterpiece of lucidity, erudition and analytic rigor that will quickly become the standard supplementary work for contracts courses. It is, moreover, so compellingly, yet charmingly written that students, as well as many of their professors, will soon come to accept Barnett's book as the orthodox statement of the consent-based approach to contract law." -- Claire Finkelstein, Algernon Biddle Professor of Law and Professor of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania
