The topic of this podcast by Professor Jennifer S. Martin is when agreements that are not enforceable as contracts because they are not supported by consideration are nevertheless enforceable due to reliance on the promise, often referred to as promissory estoppel. It discusses reliance as it pertains to gift promises, including charitable donations. The podcast examines the rule for promissory estoppel, as set forth in Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 90, as well as the form of remedy permitted in cases based upon reliance. To illustrate, the podcast uses several hypotheticals and looks at the following cases: Kirksey v. Kirksey, Ricketts v. Scothorn, and Bouton v. Byers.

At its Annual Membership Meeting on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) Board of Directors appointed five new members to fill the vacancy of outgoing Board Members whose term ended on January 1, 2021. The Nominations Committee conducted 43 interviews and reviewed bios from all candidates.

The topic of this podcast by Professor Scott J. Burnham is when rights under a contract may be assigned to third parties, and when duties may be delegated to third parties. Using hypotheticals to illustrate, it discusses the exceptions that limit the transfer of rights and duties to a third party. The assignability of the right to receive money, and the liability involved with the delegation of a duty to pay money, are also covered. Finally, it examines prohibitions of assignment of rights or delegation of duties, including what it means to enforce such a prohibition. UCC Article 9, UCC § 2-210(5), and UCC § 2-210(6) are discussed.
