Area of Interest Contracts

Contracts regulate transactions ranging from cell phone plans to corporate mergers. They are the main means by which people and firms do business with each other and more generally enable us to use agreements to define rights and obligations that we owe to one another. At Harvard Law School, students have the opportunity to become expert in the legal rules and principles that determine how contracts are formed, interpreted and enforced, as well as larger questions of the proper aims and role of contract law in our legal system.
