Note: This course satisfies the Perspective course requirement.

This course invites students to explore contract law and contract theory at a deeper and more advanced level. There is an incredibly rich and fascinating body of contract law scholarship and several doctrines are currently in the process of being developed or challenged. As part of the course syllabus, students will also read and critically assess chapters from my book,Justice in Transactions: A Theory ofContract Law, and compare the approach it takes with competing approaches. For each topic, there will be a few assigned readings which will be introduced by the instructor or students for general class discussion. Students can choose to write on these or any other topic in contract law or contract theory.

Evaluation
A paper (6,250 to 7,500 words) (100%) on a topic of a student’s choice in contract law and theory. The emphasis of the paper can be more doctrinal or more theoretical as students wish. Topics and drafts should be discussed with the instructor.
