Course Details

Contract Design

This is a course in applied contract theory. It introduces topics in the theory and practice of contract and asks students to apply the insights from those fields to an actual contracting problem. In the first part of the course, we will read scholarship studying contract from the perspectives of law and economics, law and economic sociology, and empirical legal studies. In the second part of the course, each student will present work on a contract design challenge the student has identified (in consultation with the professor) in a selected industry or transaction type.
