Course No. 561 Taught by Frank B. Cross The University of Texas at Austin J.D., Harvard Law School
What is a contract? How can you make one binding? How can you avoid being prematurely bound by one? What can you do to get out of a contract? What remedies are available if someone breaches your contract? What special rules apply to international contracts?
These questions and the other important issues of legally enforceable promises are covered in the eight lectures of this course.
Contractual agreements are one of the principal mechanisms for ordering life in society.
This book reveals corruption to be at the very center of these global threats and proposes a combination of remedies such as positive leadership, enhanced transparency, tougher punishment, and enforceable new sanctions against shady activities.
