Abstract

This article focuses on the general problems confronting parties designing a contractual relationship. Contracts concern the future, which is both uncertain and influenced by the behavior of the parties. This presents the parties with a number of problems, the solutions for which are imperfect. Contract doctrine can facilitate their efforts, but it can also be an impediment. Contract design and contract law are discussed.
