CONTRACT BOILERPLATE

This course surveys the provisions that appear at the back of most contracts that nobody ever reads (e.g., the choice-of-law clause, the indemnification clause, the force majeure clause). Students will learn about the purpose of these provisions, the origins of contract boilerplate, and the variations between provisions of a similar type. They will also learn how to draft these provisions and how to litigate them should a contract wind up in litigation.
