Advanced Contracts

Catalog description

This course will reconsider foundational tenets of contract law, but applied to a new and modern fact pattern. For example, does an agreement to exchange one kidney for another (as in the increasingly common kidney paired donation) involve consideration? Is it void as against public policy? What is the obligation of airlines, hotels, and third party providers (such as Expedia) to honor 'mistake fares' in an age when technology allows potentially millions of purchases before the offer or discovers the error? There will be substantial writing, teamwork, and oral presentations.
