Course Info
The subject matter and coverage of this course is approximately the same as the subject matter and coverage of first-year Contracts—the formation of a contract; problems of offer and acceptance; consideration; the question of contract breach; damages and remedies for a breach—as abbreviated and modified to reflect that it (a) is limited to foreign students who are candidates for the LL.M. in U.S. Legal Studies and (b) consists of 3 (not 5) credit hours.
Instructor
Prof. Jack Turner is an Associate Professor of Law and the Director of the International LLM Program at Case Western Reserve University. He teaches Contract Law and U.S. Legal Writing and Research.
