Talk:US Contract Law

Who posted the information contained here so far? I mean no offense since it does seem like a sincere and honest effort to accurately and concisely state the principles of law mentioned. Still, I must say it seems EXTREMELY elementary. It seems as though this is written by a 2L who learned out of an Emmanuel's outline and would not be able to argue the policies and principles behind the law and WHY a judge might chose to use a particular argument over another.

For instance, the parol evidence rule is not nearly so simple as it is stated here. The Emmanuel's summary outline may make it that simple, but there are several well established exceptions to the parol evidence rule and none were mentioned here. There are complex policy considerations that are behind the decision to allow oral testimony and the judge's personal philosophy about what role the courts should play and what role the judge herself should play will have a great influence on the decision.

I hope to make additions to this wikibook when I find the time, but I just wanted to point out for those who might consult this as a good source that things are far more complex than this makes it appear. unsigned comment by 24.45.199.241 at 04:44, 16 December 2005

Scope
The users writing this module never say to which part of the world it applies. Is this intended to be an overview for contracts law worldwide, or in a few specific countries? --Kernigh 05:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

The move
Whoever renamed/redirected this may want to go thru the law bookshelf and do the same. - The Webjunkie

I think this whole entry should be rewritten completely. It is extremely bad - from topic organization to sentence construction to.. everything...
