NorthJersey.com reports:
- E. Allan Farnsworth, an internationally recognized legal scholar whose textbook on contracts is the standard reference book for lawyers, died at his Englewood home Monday. He was 77.
I’m not a contracts scholar, but I did read his one magnificient one-volume hornbook, which in my opinion set a new standard for clarity and intellectual depth in the doctrinal survey.
