Section Description

This course is the basic introduction to the law and theory of contracts: the legal obligations that attach to promises made in a business contract or otherwise, including the remedies that may be available for promises that are not kept. The course examines the legal requirements for enforceable contracts (offer and acceptance, consideration, promissory estoppel), and the law governing interpretation (parol evidence, plain meaning and contextualism), relational contracts, conditions, the effect of fraud, mistake, unconscionability, and impossibility, and remedies (damages, specific performance).
