Class 26: Bridge to Spring

Defenses · Dec 7

By the end of class, you can

Articulate the through-line from formation (Modules I-IV) to interpretation (Module V): once a contract exists, the question becomes what it says.
Identify three contract clauses the student encounters in everyday life (lease, EULA, employment offer) and predict where interpretive disputes will arise.
Plan winter-break review: list the rules the student would over-learn before the cold-call rhythm resumes.

Today

Floor. Recovery only. If any prior-class doctrine is incomplete, finish it here. ~40–60 min depending on what's outstanding.

Target. Recovery + practice problems on recent material. No cold-calls; worked-example mode. ~75 min.

Class summary

Bridge to Spring. Fall closed on defenses (Module IV). Spring opens with interpretation: assume the contract is valid; what does it mean? The Williston / Corbin opposition shapes the next three weeks. Class 27's reading: Frigaliment Importing Co. v. B.N.S. International Sales Corp.: what is chicken?

_Interpretation_ · Jan 12

Soft re-entry from break. We re-warm the fall map and lay out the spring sequence: Interpretation, Performance & Breach, Remedies, Third Parties. No new doctrine on the line, but bring one question you held over the break about a fall case. One question to think about while reading: what kind of dispute drives Module V that the fall modules did not reach? Come ready to answer. You may be called.
