Cornell Law Professors Continuing Work Updating Rwanda’s Contract Laws

Cornell law professor Robert Summers, right, and Don Wallace Jr., professor at Georgetown Law School, work on drafting Rwanda's code of contract law at a November meeting on campus.

"Next to criminal law, there is no body of law more important to a developing country than contract law. Those are the words of Robert Summers, the McRoberts Professor of Research in the Administration of Law at Cornell, and he should know. Summers co-authored (with James J. White, University of Michigan) the four volumes of The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the most-cited treatise on the code by courts and scholars in the United States, and he served as an adviser on draft revisions to the Russian Civil Code and the Egyptian Civil Code."
