Contract Law, Default Rules, And The Philosophy Of Promising, Richard Craswell
Contract Law, Default Rules, And The Philosophy Of Promising, Richard Craswell
Michigan Law Review
Among the topics addressed by moral philosophy is the obligation to keep one's promises. To many philosophers, there is something strange (or, at least, something calling for explanatie1n) in the idea that moral obligations can be created simply by an individual's saying so yet this is what seems to happen when a person makes a promise. Consequently, there is by now a large body of literature attempting to identify the exact source and nature of this moral obligation.
Part I of this article presents a more detailed survey of recent philosophical writings about promises, for the benefit of legal readers …

And Then There Were None: Requirements Contracts And The Buyer Who Does Not Buy, Cheryl R. Guttenberg
And Then There Were None: Requirements Contracts And The Buyer Who Does Not Buy, Cheryl R. Guttenberg
Washington Law Review
In requirements contract cases where buyer has significantly reduced—or no—requirements, courts employ inconsistent reasoning, resulting in legal uncertainty and economically inefficient exchanges. This Comment proposes a more predictable, efficient rule that would allow buyer to reduce its requirements after giving seller a business reason for the reduction, placing the risk of reduced requirements explicitly on seller.

Binding Contracts In Georgia Local Government Law: Configurations Of Codification, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Binding Contracts In Georgia Local Government Law: Configurations Of Codification, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Scholarly Works
The potential for creating uncertainty looms as a primary and ever-present problem in the codification process. A dominant concern is the fear the unintended statutory changes--or, worse still, the quandary of whether what appears to be such a change was truly intended--may result. The perplexing issues emanating from that quandary can considerably dissipate the benefits of progressive statutory codification. For purely illustrative purposes, attention might be called to the present plight of an historic precept in Georgia local government law. That precept unflinchingly condemns a local governing authority's efforts to commit its successors to a given course of governmental action. …
Exception Clauses And Negligence-The Influence Of Contract On Bailment And Tort, Andrew B.L. Phang
Exception Clauses And Negligence-The Influence Of Contract On Bailment And Tort, Andrew B.L. Phang
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Judgments at first instance have rarely been the subject of comment.' The recent decision of Steyn J in Singer Co (UK) Ltd v Tees and Hartlepool Port Authority,2 however, merits consideration for at least three reasons. First, it focuses upon important issues in the law of bailment, at least one of which has hitherto only been considered at first instance in any event. Secondly, the decision provokes thought on the much broader issue of the effect of exception clauses upon the general duty of care in tort, in particular whether the reasoning in the bailment context could be extended and …
Software Distribution Agreements And Bankruptcy: The Licensor's Perspective, J. Dianne Brinson
Software Distribution Agreements And Bankruptcy: The Licensor's Perspective, J. Dianne Brinson
Washington Law Review
This Article addresses a special problem within the software-industry—licensee bankruptcy and the need to protect the rights of licensors in the software. Although federal law now protects the rights of a software licensee in the technology when a licensor undergoes bankruptcy, little guidance exists as to the effects of licensee bankruptcy upon the software licensor. This Article thoroughly reviews the relevant bankruptcy and copyright law as they relate to the computer software area, and then discusses why a licensor should consider avoiding the possibility of a software license being treated as an executory contract. The author concludes by offering practical …

Boundaries and Water: Allocation and Use of a Shared Resource (Summer Conference, June 5-7)
Conference organizers and/or faculty included University of Colorado School of Law professors David H. Getches, Lawrence J. MacDonnell and Charles F. Wilkinson.
Boundaries and Water: Allocation and Use of a Shared Resource is the topic of the Center's annual summer program on water this June. Most of the major rivers in the western United States are shared between two or more states. Often tribal governments play an important role in water allocation and use decisions. International considerations also may be involved in some cases. These interjurisdictional issues extend to groundwater as well as surface water.
This conference will provide the …
Validity Of Post-Employment Non-Compete Covenants In Broadcast News Employment Contracts, Jon H. Sylvester
Validity Of Post-Employment Non-Compete Covenants In Broadcast News Employment Contracts, Jon H. Sylvester
Publications
This Article discusses whether, and to what extent, a broad-cast news employee may be bound by a contractual provision that purportedly relinquishes his right to contract subsequently for other employment. Specifically, this Article dis-cusses the applicable law of selected jurisdictions, critiques the rationale most often used in defending these covenants ("uniqueness of employee services"), reports the results of a survey regarding industry practices, and discusses the distinctions between legal enforceability and practical enforcement. Finally, this Article proposes changes in the law, including abandonment of the "unique services" rationale and adoption of specialized standards by which the validity of such contract …

Measuring The Unjust Enrichment In A Restitution, Howard Hunter
Measuring The Unjust Enrichment In A Restitution, Howard Hunter
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Unjust enrichment is a theme common to most restitution cases in the United States. The theory of recovery is based on a justice principle the disgorgement of an unfairly obtained gain. The goal, in general, is to require the defendant to give up his gain rather than to compensate the plaintiff for a loss, as in a tort case, or to substitute damages for an unfulfilled expectancy, as in a contract case. This paper examines some of the issues that surround the measurement of the unjust enrichment and the defendant's liability. There are a number of straightforward rules for the …
The Warranty Of Quality In Sale Of Goods Under The Perspective Of The American And French Law, Renaud Baguenault De Puchesse
The Warranty Of Quality In Sale Of Goods Under The Perspective Of The American And French Law, Renaud Baguenault De Puchesse
LLM Theses and Essays
While the United States’ common law system is characterized by diversity due to each state having its own set of rules, in certain areas there are nationwide legislative attempts of unification and standardization. One such attempt is the adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code which governs the sale of goods law in the United States. The French civil law system generally differs greatly from the American system in that it is primarily based upon statutes and codes. However, the American Uniform Commercial Code and the French Civil Code provide tangible, comparable bases to assess similarities and differences between American and …
