This course provides a study of the basic principles of both the common law of contracts and sales of goods under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. It focuses on the requirements for formation of a contract, including offer and acceptance at common law; consideration; promissory estoppel; defenses used by parties to avoid liability on their agreements; and remedies at common law for nonperformance or threatened nonperformance, including money damages, restitution, and equitable remedies. Foundational skills taught in the course will include identifying and addressing potential legal issues that arise both in contract drafting and subsequently in contract disputes between the parties.
