Expanding the influence and authority of the venerable Corbin brand, Corbin on Ohio Contracts provides a comprehensive and accurate statement of Ohio contract law in a readily accessible manner. Lawyers sometimes assume that contract law principles are uniform throughout the nation, but that's not true. Ohio law is, in many ways, the quintessential traditional state. But when it comes to contract law, it diverges from the mainstream in significant respects. Corbin on Ohio Contracts provides a comprehensive and accurate statement of Ohio contract law in a readily accessible manner. It also demonstrates how Ohio law differs from the majority or other prominent positions.

Important features of Ohio contract law that the treatise explores in depth include the following topics:

  • Some Ohio appellate courts have embraced a unique theory of applying tort law to contract law disputes.

  • Ohio's fidelity to the "plain meaning rule" is at odds with progressive jurisdictions.

  • Ohio courts' take on the dreaded "battle of the forms" with respect to the sale of goods is both rigid and out of the mainstream, posing traps for the unwary that can prove catastrophic for the uninitiated.

  • On fundamental points of law, Ohio differs from some states—it eschews seals, it recognizes that the doctrine of promissory estoppel is applicable in the employment-at-will relationship, and it has declined to adopt a promissory estoppel exception that would remove an agreement from the Statute of Frauds.

  • Ohio law addresses the growing body of law of electronic contracting and arbitration.
