The Death of Contract
AuthorGrant Gilmore
CountryUnited States
SubjectContract law and common law
Published1974 (Ohio State University Press)

The Death of Contract is a book by American law professor Grant Gilmore, written in 1974, about the history and development of the common law of contracts.[1][2] Gilmore's central thesis was that the Law of Contracts, at least as it existed in the 20th-century United States was largely artificial: it was the work of a handful of scholars and judges building a system, rather than a more organic, historically rooted development based on the evolution of case law. This book is required supplemental reading in the first year program at many U.S. law schools. A second edition was published in 1995, which was edited with a new introduction by Ronald K.L. Collins.
