Contract Lore As Heuristic Starting Points, Colin P. Marks

Faculty Works

This article examines the concept of “contract lore,” a term used to describe commonly repeated propositions about contract law that may not accurately reflect how courts actually decide cases. Prior scholarship has suggested that the persistence of such statements reflects aspirational thinking among contract scholars and practitioners, maintained through a form of cognitive dissonance. This article challenges that explanation and instead argues that many examples of contract lore are better understood as heuristic starting points used in legal analysis. Rather than functioning as definitive statements of law, these propositions provide an initial framework from which students, lawyers, and judges begin …

Dean's Desk: Amid Covid-19 Shutdown, Iu Maurer Displays Resilience, Austen L. Parrish

Austen Parrish (2014-2022)

The spring semester is coming to a close in Bloomington, but in ways none of us expected. The COVID-19 pandemic required us to shift to teaching remotely in a matter of days, and all on-campus events — including commencement — have been canceled or postponed. Fortunately, when classes resumed remotely March 30, our students, faculty and staff more than rose to the occasion and pulled together, and the transition has been smoother than expected.

Our community’s resilience and positive attitude through the pandemic have led me to reflect more broadly on the wonderful support — financial and otherwise — we …

Maine Corporation Law & Practice, Gregory S. Fryer

Maine Law Review

The scarcity of case law in Maine on corporate law issues of the day is a fact of life for corporate law practitioners in this State. While courts in more populous states fill library shelves with an ever-growing mix of corporate law decisions, we in Maine often can only wonder which way our own courts would turn if presented with those same issues. Faced with a limited amount of local case law, corporate lawyers here might rarely venture beyond well-hewn traditions were it not for two-and now three-fortunate developments. First and foremost is the Maine Business Corporation Act. The Act …

Lawyers Cooperative Publishing has issued trial handbooks for practitioners in some twenty-three states. One now appears for Maine lawyers, under the supervision of Bob Stolt of the Maine Bar.
