Business Law and Contracts (BLAW-917-0)
This course explores the nature and enforceability of contracts and bargains between and among businesses and individuals. What constitutes a valid contract offer between companies and/or individuals? How is a contract accepted? When should a business or individual be legally excused from performing a contract obligation? When should a contractual obligation not be excused? And what are the remedies available for the breach of a contract? We will look at a number of contractual disputes, including contracts involving sales of businesses, real estate, employment, retail sales and performance of services.
