2. The Law of Contracts.
Professor Graves.
In this class, coming appropriately at the beginning of the Junior
year, an effort is made to give a thorough, though elementary, course
in the fundamentals of contract law—the formation, operation, and
discharge of contracts—with a full discussion of the doctrine of consideration,
the requirements of the Statute of Frauds, and the consequences
of the various kinds of illegality, whether at common law or
by statute. The important subject of Quasi-Contract also receives adequate
attention. The text-book on Contracts (Clark, following the
analysis of Anson), is accompanied by a volume of Illustrative Cases,
and is supplemented by the professor's Printed Notes, explaining
obscurities in the text, and calling attention to the recent cases in
Virginia and elsewhere.—September 15 to December 23—Three times a
week.
