Abstract

Rubin discusses the failure of standard contracts courses to discuss contracts?or contracting behavior?at all, and he explains how socioeconomics can provide a way to bring these issues home for first year students. Rubin argues that there is a disconnect between contractual relationships and the law school "Contracts" course, that is illustrated by the structure of contemporary legal practice.
