TOP REVIEWS FROM AMERICAN CONTRACT LAW I
An excellent insight into American Contract Law. I was amazed by Prof. Ayres, who is one of the best lecturers I have ever encountered!
An outstanding introduction with a very engaging instructor! This course made me think, and it made me come to terms with the legal underpinning of contract law. Completely worth my time.
Great and challenging course which teaches a lot about contract law and negotiations! Not an easy class but certainly enjoyable.
This dude knows his stuff. Definitely recommend, do note that he more teaches how to read contracts and not necessarily write them, can still very much help.
