Although I will touch on all of these during tonight’s class (Thursday, December 2), I thought that these written responses might also be of some help to everyone in the class.]]>hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-12-01T11:42:11-05:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/3ed6cbabe127326f99159a52ef089e73-11.html#unique-entry-id-11http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/3ed6cbabe127326f99159a52ef089e73-11.html#unique-entry-id-11We have, unfortunately, very little time to spend on the important topic of Equitable Remedies in general and Specific Performance, in particular. I have tried, in a Keynote presentation, to capture the essence of our readings and discussions in this area.]]>hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-11-08T09:55:30-05:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/c01939108b31fcc6124c673bfd28009f-10.html#unique-entry-id-10http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/c01939108b31fcc6124c673bfd28009f-10.html#unique-entry-id-10This week we will complete our work on Chapters 5 and 6. I know that this material has been difficult, but I hope that the casebook material and our classes have helped to illuminate both the common law and statutory remedial concepts, rules and practices that we have discussed. I have some suggestions for your work in this area.]]>hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-10-15T17:10:14-04:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/07602523d2138e9f11d8208cedfecbb7-9.html#unique-entry-id-9http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/07602523d2138e9f11d8208cedfecbb7-9.html#unique-entry-id-9
Unfortunately, Thursday night was a night of technological failures for me. Not only was I unable to project on to the classroom screens a copy of the Consideration Quiz as I had planned, but, it turns out, my digital recorder failed to record the class.

So - here are some notes about what went on that I hope will be of some help both to those who were unable to attend class and those who were there but whose recollections of the class could profit from repetition.

Although as of today (Saturday, October 2) we have not yet finished our in-class discussion of Chapter 2, I thought that having this lecture available to you as you undertake a review this weekend may be of some use to you.]]>hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-10-02T14:22:05-04:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/e1ea26ccc1b0fbe5413a56f4b31222df-7.html#unique-entry-id-7http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/e1ea26ccc1b0fbe5413a56f4b31222df-7.html#unique-entry-id-7During the 20th century there was a gradual shift in emphasis in the law governing the formation, interpretation and remedies for breach of contracts. It is not easy to summarize the character of this shift nor possible to predict whether the direction of movement will continue during the 21st century. One aspect of this shift away from classical contract law can be seen in the development of the doctrine of unconscionability, the notion that courts should refrain from enforcing contracts or provisions of contracts that are unconscionable. ]]>hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-10-02T14:16:43-04:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/161208eaca63ab25e7bc8b45a379632f-6.html#unique-entry-id-6http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/161208eaca63ab25e7bc8b45a379632f-6.html#unique-entry-id-6
Since the word “mutuality” doesn’t advance our understanding of the issues, we may need to come up with other words to describe the problem before we can look at some of the solutions.]]>hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-09-09T16:56:12-04:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/9ec5b8f6b2617a4943dae27579bd8151-5.html#unique-entry-id-5http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/9ec5b8f6b2617a4943dae27579bd8151-5.html#unique-entry-id-5hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-09-05T08:17:49-04:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/6d18a3d29bafc04d6349313d93a67e25-4.html#unique-entry-id-4http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/6d18a3d29bafc04d6349313d93a67e25-4.html#unique-entry-id-4hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-09-01T11:14:29-04:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/63bae96d12d5ffebb0ab23b0f96f1f9e-3.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/63bae96d12d5ffebb0ab23b0f96f1f9e-3.html#unique-entry-id-3hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-08-30T16:25:22-04:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/d5ef397f85614553ed1325c70e62346f-2.html#unique-entry-id-2http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/d5ef397f85614553ed1325c70e62346f-2.html#unique-entry-id-2Instead of a written blog this week, I offer a podcast on the subject of the organization of the Fuller Casebook and of our course.]]>hkalodner@law.wnec.eduNone2010-08-09T12:17:08-04:00http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/f2c3c479839685ba40b8f575be9c1aac-1.html#unique-entry-id-1http://www.kalodner.com/contracts/page6/page7/files/f2c3c479839685ba40b8f575be9c1aac-1.html#unique-entry-id-1Your parents undoubtedly taught you that you should do what you have promised to do.
