Contracts Big Picture diagram (click to enlarge)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is a “big picture” cheatsheet for Contracts law. We begin with the threshold issue of which law governs: common law or the UCC. We can then proceed to Step One: Formation, where offer, acceptance and consideration are addressed, as well as defenses to formation. In Step Two: Performance, we look at the contract terms, any third party issues, excuse of conditions, discharge of duties, and breach. Step Three is Remedies, including damages, restitution, specific performance, rescission and reformation.<\/p>\n
