Taking an anthropological approach,Essential Principles of Contract and Sales Law in the Northern Pacific highlights how regional customary and traditional law interact with Anglo-American concepts of contract and sales law to produce a unique amalgam of substantive law in this Pacific region.

Author and law professor Daniel P. Ryan compiles and discusses the current contract and sales law applicable in the Pacific region, including the Republics of Palau and the Marshall Islands, Hawaii, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and the Federated States of Micronesia.

Ryan compares and contrasts this regional law to international standards, including the UN Sale of Goods Convention, the UNIDROIT Principles of Contract Law, UNCITRAL Model Law for E-Commerce, the Uniform Commercial Code, the Revised Uniform Commercial Code, and the Restatement (Second) of Contracts. Essential Principles of Contract and Sales Law in the Northern Pacific is essential reading for members of the judiciary, academics, practitioners, students, and businesses within the region and their major trade partners.
