Boss bunny asked junior bunny to fill “all the eggs with jelly beans” as he pointed to a pile of eggs. Junior bunny said “ok as long as you pay me $100” boss bunny said “sure.” A few minutes later boss bunny added more eggs to the pile. Junior bunny finished putting jelly beans in the original eggs and asked for payment. Boss bunny refuses to pay Junior until he filled the new eggs that were added later. Will Junior bunny win if he sues boss bunny for breach of contract?

OK, who is daring enough to take a shot at explaining the differences between the common law standard of material breach or substantial performance versus the UCC Article 2 concept of perfect tender. Go!

A modification to a contract occurs when the parties agree to different terms than what they originally agreed to during formation. There are different rules for common law and the UCC that you must know. Generally, a modification to a contract can excuse non-performance. However, on an essay, you should address modification AFTER formation but BEFORE performance and breach. Why? If you analyze the original terms, they will be breached, you will say the modification was a lawful excuse then you have to analyze everything again under the modified terms. Do you have time for that in exam world? Nope. Rule tips: know common law, the modern trend with unanticipated circumstances in good faith and UCC 2-209.

Hey everyone — we just wrapped up our Friday lunch office hour, and it was 🔥. We’re running it back Sunday at 6:30 PM right here, so come through if you can. Bring your Contract Law questions and anything you’re stuck on — chances are someone else is working through the same thing. Quick challenge for you all: start pushing yourselves beyond just understanding the material… and into being able to teach it. A lot of you clearly get the big-picture concepts, which is great — but the real growth happens when you can clearly explain the rules. Think of it like this: you might understand the flow of a game, but do you know the rules well enough to call it? That’s when you really own it. So for Contracts — focus on mastering the rules of the game. Don’t just listen and think “that makes sense.” Push to the point where you can say it out loud, write it out cleanly, and explain it to someone else without hesitation. Let’s make this a collaborative push: - Drop rules that are clicking for you - Share outlines or frameworks that are helping - Post anything you’re willing to contribute If you share materials in the feed, I’ll organize them into a classroom so everyone can benefit. Let’s build this together 💪
