Could somebody please send me an email or do a comment to this post reminding me of the things I have promised to post on this blog? Something on non-comps in California and a link to the Facebook litigation -- anything else? Sorry -- I plead the infirmities of age.

This link should take you to the contract outline wiki.
Click on the blue go button on the bottom of the page, then the Recent Activity tab on the right. Contracts outline should show up as a document. Click on that to go to the outline. Then improve the outline with your brilliance.

I just sent you all an email inviting you to join a Contracts outline wiki. If I accidentally sent you multiple emails (like, 6) I'm sorry. I'm not trying to spam you. The program did not like my sending out so many invitations at once, and was a bit irked.
Here is what I did. I found an contracts outline based on Farnsworth on the Web, one of several floating around there. I did not review it for errors. It is supposed to act as a wiki "seed", something to get the collaborative effort of revising the outline started. Each of you is invited (but not required!) to edit the outline. You don't need to be shy. If you think you can improve on anything, go right ahead. Others can always correct you if you make a mistake. At least, that's the idea.
This is just an experiment. I am interested to see if this Web 2.0-ish tool is actually useful in a Contracts class.
Right now, everybody in the class is a fully empowered editor. Please don't invite anyone outside of the class to participate. As Administrator, I can monitor activity, so be nice.
It appears you can not only edit, but you can also add links, and do all kinds of stuff. Try to have fun, and don't stay up too late.

Below is the powerpoint I would have shown. Very basic, though some of the problems at the end might be useful to you.

All of the supplemental materials provided on this blog, such as Fuller & Perdue's article, back story on George Blake, and so on, is just provided in case you want to pursue any of these topics further. They are not "required reading". If there is something in addition to the case book I want to require you to read, I will say so expressly.
That said, it's a good idea to cultivate a lively intellectual interest in the law, especially in the areas you are studying and very especially contract law.
