Penn Law Students for Democratic Society - Disrupting Contract Law

Sandeep Vaheesan of Open Markets Institute, speaks at a Penn Law Students for Democratic Society lecture series on disrupting contract law.

In this Penn Law Students for Democratic Society lecture and Q&A, Vaheesan outlines the role of contract law, and noncompete clauses in particular, in entrenching corporate power at the expense of workers and consumers. He interrogates the conventional understanding of contracts as voluntary, noncoercive agreements that informs how 1L Contract Law courses are taught, and identifies opportunities for comprehensive legislative and regulatory reform.
