Description
This is the basic course in contract law. Topics include formation and modification of contracts, the need for a writing (Statute of Frauds), contract interpretation, excuses for non-performance, breach of contract, and remedies for breach. Alternative theories of recovery, like reliance and restitution, are also covered. Unlike other 1L Contracts classes at UT, this class addresses sales of goods under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code as well as common law contracts.
