General Course Descriptions for Terms: advanced contracts
721 - Advanced Contracts (formerly Contracts II)
Advanced Contracts deals with cutting-edge legal problems in commercial contracts, as well as some non-commercial contracts. In particular, we will focus on ways in which contracts are used to create private systems of governance. As such, we will examine the legal structures created by franchise agreements, terms of service, and end-user license agreements. We will focus not only on appellate opinions, but also on the institutional structures created through these contracts. We will also hear from a number of guest speakers throughout the semester.
