Contracts is a first-year course in common law jurisdictions around the world. Professor Russell is teaching Contracts during the spring 2023 to the excellent students at Washington University in St. Louis School of Law. He has also taught Contracts at the The University of Texas at Austin School of Law; UC College of Law, San Francisco; Maynooth University in Ireland, and the University of Denver.
A contract is an exchange relationship that is voluntary--more or less. The typical pattern is that one person (or company) sells goods or services to another person (or company) for money. For the most part, Contracts students examine what happens after something goes wrong with this transaction.
