This book is divided into two general divisions: 1) Obligations and 2) Contracts, (with some discussion on Natural Obligations and Estoppel). Obligations basically deal with those which must be done. Contracts on the other hand, deal with agreements and their binding effect. One must have a good background on this subject as it is one of the pillars of Civil Law. This book is written in question and answer format for easier assimilation. Diagrams/outlines of the provisions are also provided for summation at a glance. Bar exam questions and suggested answers are likewise included.
