Contracts

Someday we're going to talk about Offer/Acceptance and Formation of Contracts. Someday. But until then, I'll be content knowing how to calculate just how much money someone gets if the other party breaches the contract. Ironic if you think about it--we don't know how to make a contract, but we can figure out how to get money out of it when it breaks. Reminds me a lot of the centrifuge (think big machine that spins things really fast) in the lab--never knew how it worked, but boy I knew what to do when it broke. I called the repair guy.

1-800-cnt-brch, anyone?

Maybe next semester we'll actually learn how to make a contract. Or, if we all believe our cynical professor, maybe we'll just make $300k/year and make some lowly paralegal write it for us.

Cynicism is a great thing, isn't it?
