| | Contract Law, Part 1: Introduction and Origins (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Contract law, like so much of English-origin law, is sometimes described in lengthy legalese diatribe, from which it is no easy task to excise a short, succinct and plain-language description. |
 | | Contract law is based on several Latin legal principles, the most important of which is consensus ad idem, which means a meeting of the minds between the parties or, in other words, a clear understanding, offering and acceptance of each person's contribution. |
 | | Contract law is said to be a part of "private law" because it does not involve or bind the state or persons that are not parties to the contract. |
