Advanced Contracts

LAW 818 | 2,3 Hours

The first arc of the Seminar exposes students to the leading theoretical perspectives on contract law and policy – philosophy, economics, psychology, and sociology. The second arc involves the theory of drafting contacts, sometimes known as transaction design or contract theory (by economists). The final arc considers the issue of enforcement and execution of contacts, an issue of critical relevance to anyone drafting contracts, counseling clients, or making policy arguments. Altogether, the seminar provides students with a toolkit they would otherwise lack which helps them to distinguish themselves in the workplace.
