LAW 2938 - Seminar on Contracts and Torts
This seminar analyzes the relationship on Contract and To rt Law, substantively, procedurally, and in measuring damages. Broadly, it is concerned with what practical and tactical differences follow from characterizing an action as Contract or To rt, and with whether such differences are justifiable. Specifically we will focus on differences in proving a cause of action, measuring damages, avoiding want of consideration, avoiding lack of privity, avoiding “public policy” defenses, avoiding the Statute of Frauds and statutes of limitation, avoiding the parol evidence rule, interference with contractual relations, waiving the tort and suing in assumpsit, and problems of statutory interpretation. This course may meet Writing Requirement I or II.
