Contract law is a great subject.
It encompasses numerous interrelated concepts that can stretch across many different subjects, unlike some other courses. Simply put, contracts deals with the making and breaking of promises, and the consequences that stem from those actions. It is largely a common-law subject, meaning judicial interpretation, custom and tradition, rather than just statutory rules, have shaped contract law over time. However, we must still strive to take an integrated approach to contract law because some promises can be broken with impunity while shattering others has severe consequences. So, in taking this class, think carefully about how to best structure a societal approach to contract formation and enforcement.
