Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract was created in 2008.
Landmark cases are cases that got such big publicity and world change because of the change. For example, Miranda was changed.Miranda is your rights that which are read to you when you get arrested.(a case in which the Supreme Court's decision greatly alters the interpretation of a law)
State courts hear any and all cases having to do with the laws of their particular state which were passed by their state legislature. They do not hear cases involving the laws of other states nor do they hear Federal cases.
Landmark cases, such as Brown v. Board of Education, are recognizable by the fact that they produce substantial changes in both the understanding of due process and in the practical day-to-day operations of the justice system. These cases often set new precedents or interpretations of the law that have far-reaching impacts on society and legal practice.
The similarities between contract law and tort law include both being branches of civil law that deal with obligations and responsibilities between parties. However, the key difference is that contract law is based on voluntary agreements between parties, while tort law involves wrongful acts that result in harm or loss to another party without a previous agreement.
Specific examples of criminal law include murder, theft, and assault, which are offenses against the state and can result in punishment such as imprisonment. Civil law examples include contract disputes, personal injury cases, and property disputes, which involve resolving conflicts between individuals or entities through compensation or equitable remedies.
The best place for a layperson to read the "landmark" cases in the law of contracts would be a law school casebook. It is a collection of cases, supplemented by other materials, such as statutes and the occasional scholarly article. Go to any law school bookstore. Look for used contract texts. For your purposes--getting a generalized feel for the subject--any of the casebooks will do fine. Note: do not bog yourself down with a hornbook. Hornbooks are different, they are more daunting to read and they do not generally discuss cases. Though the "super landmark" cases, such as Hadley v. Baxendale or the Kent Building Products or Victoria Laundry cases will be discussed. But less than 10% of the content of a hornbook will revolve around landmark cases, while in casebooks, around 35% of the content delves into such leading cases.

It is something that cannot be done because of the law or reality. In some cases a change in law may make it impossible to fulfill a contract.
It means that a contract (which a right is established and an obligation is extinguished) executed by both parties, they are bound by it. If a new law was established that contradicts the contracts, they still have (parties) to performed what was stipulated in the contract.
Contract law, specifically the principle of consideration, traces its origins to English common law in the 19th century. The landmark case of Currie v. Misa (1875) established that consideration is necessary for a contract to be enforceable, meaning that something of value must be exchanged between the parties. This requirement ensures that both parties have a mutual obligation, thus providing a basis for legal enforceability. Over time, the doctrine of consideration has been refined and remains a fundamental aspect of contract law in many jurisdictions.
