TOP REVIEWS FROM AMERICAN CONTRACT LAW I
This dude knows his stuff. Definitely recommend, do note that he more teaches how to read contracts and not necessarily write them, can still very much help.
I enjoyed the course and the professor's lecture style. He made the course very engaging. I hope to see him at Contract II.
An excellent introduction into the laws pertaining to the formation of contracts. Cases are well explained and the professor's lectures are easy to follow and understand.
Thank you for this informative course. I found week 1 required the most effort and then the contents and cases become easier to understand as the weeks past.
