American Contract Law II

Yale continues contract-law study with limits on promissory liability, performance and remedies. Third-party interests extend the discussion beyond the original parties to an agreement. It suits learners who want to understand how different stages of a dispute raise different questions, and who can connect a remedy with the reasoning behind liability.

What you will learn

• Explore defenses to contractual liability.
• Analyze performance and remedy questions.
• Examine third-party interests in contractual relationships.

Who this suits

Learners prepared for case-based United States contract-law study. The provider labels it beginner, while familiarity with the first course’s foundations will make the continuation easier.

Before you enroll

The legal setting is part of the course choice: EU and United States rules are not interchangeable, and requirements can change after a lesson is recorded. Use fictional cases for practice and distinguish an academic explanation from advice on an actual dispute. Completion does not qualify a learner to practice law.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Use a fictional contract dispute to separate formation, performance and remedy issues. Describe the additional facts needed for each question without presenting the exercise as advice for a real case.
