• W188561719 abstract "I. INTRODUCTION It has been at times fashionable to characterize American law much like a human being, as an entity that moves through periods of development and changes with the years. In contract theory, attempts to draw contract law's lifeline have engaged some of the most illustrious names in the field. Perhaps one of the most well known scholars in this genre is Karl Llewellyn. Llewellyn saw undulating periods in the development of the common law, those periods in which a Grand Style-one focused on elegant reasoning, principles and policies-predominated, and those periods in which a Formal Style-one rule-oriented and logical-predominated.1 For Grant Gilmore, another leading scholar of an earlier generation, codification of contract law could be a countervailing response to the common law case law method, and that codification itself could face obsolescence with age.2 Gilmore also believed American law could pass from the Ages of Discovery, Faith, and Anxiety.3 While announcements of the death of Law might from time to time come forth,4 these announcements were always in the midst of rumors of continued vitality. Where is contract law now? This symposium honoring the life and career of Professor David Vernon seems an appropriate time to address this question, though the question is perhaps a bit out-of-fashion. Professor Vernon's career as a contracts scholar and teacher spanned much of the last five decades. century just ended, the century in which Vernon spent most of his life, was a romantic time, if only to the author (who experienced little of it), when the journey through Sales was on horseback,5 when news of the death of Contract might reverberate through cathedral towns, styled perpendicular or styled gothic,6 and when the most efficient legal solution was not necessarily considered the best route to travel. Continuing the metaphor of a journey, experienced travelers know that there are times when it is appropriate to sit down, examine the map and route, and figure out exactly where in the world one is and where one is going. Such a map check for American contract law is perhaps long overdue. world is now in the midst of the phenomenon known generally as globalization.7 This Article explores the challenges to current American contract law, particularly its approaches to consumer fairness issues, from a facet of globalization that (continuing Gilmore's approach) might be called The Age of Sustainable Consumption. increasing internationalization and interdependence of countries and regions of the world associated with globalization have resulted in numerous initiatives at the international level that address consumer protection, commercial issues, sustainable development, and sustainable consumption. This Article explores one of those initiatives, the United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection (Guidelines), which has played a significant role in advancing consumer law reform efforts around the world. Originally intended to guide developing countries in such reforms, the United Nations' efforts shifted in the late 1990s to address issues of sustainable consumption. With this move, the Guidelines are as relevant to the industrialized West as they have been in other parts of the world. This Article examines the somewhat uneasy intersection of American contract law fairness doctrines with the principles laid out by the United Nations in the Guidelines. American approaches often can reflect local Western perspectives on the sanctity of agreement, individual freedom, and equal bargaining power. However, as will be discussed, judicial application of these doctrines can often conflict not only with the fairness principles laid out in the Guidelines, but also with legal approaches to similar issues in other countries. That surface inquiry into contract fairness issues at the local and international levels and the potential tensions that exist both between national legal systems and between local doctrines and emerging international norms raises a deeper question, albeit speculative, at this stage in the history of globalization. …" @default.
