CITP Luncheon Speaker Series: William Marino – Smart Contracts and Contract Law: An Uneasy Relationship
Sherrerd Hall, 3rd floor open space Princeton, NJ, United StatesSome smart contracts work to perfect the principles of contract law. Others strive to do away with contract law. A third group is merely indifferent. We will look at some of the friction here, diving into topics such as the altering and undoing of smart contracts, court enforcement of smart contracts, and the ways contract law principles can (or cannot) be embedded in smart contract code. Lastly, we'll discuss how ancillary technologies such as computer vision and Internet of Things can, if desired, help smart contracts achieve contract law objectives.
