Explore contract formation, performance, breach, remedies, and the UCC. Gain practical skills in drafting and analyzing contracts for legal and business use.

Course Description

PLAW-202: Contract Law provides an in-depth study of the legal rules that govern contracts, emphasizing both theory and practical application. Using The Law of Contracts and the Uniform Commercial Code by Pamela R. Tepper, this course explores the essential elements of a valid contract, including offer and acceptance, consideration, mutual assent, capacity, legality, and form.

Students will examine performance, breach, remedies, and third-party rights, as well as specialized rules under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) related to sales, warranties, and risk of loss. The course also addresses modern developments such as e-contracts and internet-based agreements. Practical exercises in drafting and analyzing contract provisions ensure that students develop applicable workplace skills.

This course prepares learners to navigate contract law in paralegal, legal support, and business environments by combining legal theory with hands-on practice in contract drafting and interpretation.
