In this masterful book  one of the foremost authorities on American contract law considers the general principles and legal rules that bear on this question. Drawing on many fieldscontracts  torts  property  trusts  wills  agency  and even family law and procedureE. Allan Farnsworth identifies and discusses six such principles.  Using real legal cases as well as an array of nonlegal sources ranging from Rousseau and Martin Luther to Shirley MacLaine and Willie Nelson  Farnsworth illustrates the importance of the principles that govern the irrevocability of a commitment (as by a promise) and the irreversibility of a relinquishment (as by a gift) or preclusion (as by prescription). He discusses deficiencies in the lawsuch as the preoccupation with the reliance principle  the neglect of other principles  the propensity to find promise  and the tendency toward legal paternalismand offers suggestions to eliminate anomalies  correct shortcomings  and further the rationalization of the legal concepts that pertain to regretted decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648059564085,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300086970","price":50.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300086973.jpg?v=1781708409","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/changing-your-mind-the-law-of-regretted-decisions-9780300086973","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
