A Firm Perspective is written by Martha Goldman, a retired Big Law firm library manager who then returned to the Mendik Library where her career began…

New York State contract law is one of the more elusive topics to research because there is only one title devoted to the subject.  This two-volume treatise is “New York Contract Law” by Glen Banks, and is part of the West New York Practice Series.  Law librarians and practitioners rejoiced when it was released in 2006.   It is available on Westlaw or in print (call number KFN 5215.B35 2017).  Updated annually online and in print, the topics include contract terms and clauses as well as strategies for creating contract and protecting client interests.  It also covers case law and statutes, and issues that arise in almost any commercial transaction in this state.  Happy Researching!
