ABSTRACT
This paper comes in two substantive halves. The first defines contract and its place within the law, contrasting two representative alternative definitions. The second disentangles the different rules constituting contract, and consequently the different reasons that may potentially justify them. The conclusion states some of the obvious implications for any normative account of contract, including prominent recent ones.
