LLM 124 - Syllabus for Online Contracting

I.          COURSE DESCRIPTION

Ms. Ana Penn and IBLS academic staff - Possible Faculty

Online Contracting : Online commerce requires a new take on contracts.  Online contracting includes the traditional elements drafting but with a new twist.  It is more likely that the closing of an E-Commerce deal will not be the result of a handshake, but will be in the exchange of electronic keys that have been authenticated by an international authentication service.  Cybernotaries will verify digital signatures, and impound accounts that reside outside of the jurisdiction of the parties may be employed to guarantee performance.  Disclaimers, licenses and warranties take on a new color when conflicts arise between U.C.C. and UNCITRAL or other model commercial acts.  The student in this course will cover the subject of contracts in the digital age. Authentication of parties, forum, statute of frauds, licensing, and consumer protection topics will be taught with emphasis on electronic commerce.
