I would like students to be able to articulate legal rules and principles derived from
the case law; to place legal rules in their historical and social context and to articulate
the values and purposes that are served by those rules; and to display an acquaintance
with the major theories of contract law and its development.
b.
I would like students to be able to articulate and anticipate the problems that may
arise in the context of promise making, breaking and exchange and to explain
methods of avoiding or resolving these problems.

c.
I would like students to be able to identify areas in which contract law is uncertain or
inadequate to achieve its intended purpose; to articulate the alternate values and
purposes that could and should be served by the law; and to suggest and support
avenues of development and reform.
