Where did the modern contract system come from? Professor Randy Barnett explains that the conceptual separation of contracts, torts, and property was invented in the 19th century. Before that, legal action for these types of situations was conducted through the writ system. Lawyers specialized in knowing the types of writs that were necessary for a cause of action.
Professor Randy E. Barnett is the Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Legal Theory at the Georgetown University Law Center, where he teaches constitutional law and contracts, and is Director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution.
As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
