I absolutely love the knowledge provided by this instructor. I work with contracts all the time in my job and was still unaware of alot of this information. Great course for beginners and experts.

The instructor reminds me of my old college professor who speaks so calm and serious even when delivering jokes, it could be the nature of lawyers. :) Clearly defines contracts and examples.

A detailed look at contract law, what conditions must exist, how they are interpreted, what happens in a breach, and overall provides a solid foundation for understanding contracts.

Covered the basics of contracts, but very thoroughly so it didn't feel like a basics course. Enough information to keep you busy for the allotted time.

Solid information on the fundamentals that make up a standard contract. The sections on how the court system interprets a contract was educational.
