American Contract Law II builds on the foundation of Contract Law I, delving deeper into advanced concepts of contract law in the United States. The course covers three main areas: formation defenses, contract performance, and remedies for breach. It explores how otherwise valid contracts can be voided through defenses such as mistake, misrepresentation, duress, unconscionability, and illegality. The course then examines the scope and content of contractual obligations, including conditions, the duty of good faith, and the impracticability defense. Finally, it covers various types of remedies available for breach of contract, including different forms of damages and injunctive relief. Throughout the course, legal doctrines are integrated with policy discussions, and key sections of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) are covered.
