In the ancient Near East, contracts were often solemnized by hacking up a goat. The ritual was an enacted penalty clause: "If I breach this contract, let it be done to me as we are doing to the goat." This Article argues that we are not so far removed from our goat-hacking forbearers. Legal scholars have argued that contractual liability is best explained by the morality of promise making, or by the need to create optimal incentives in contractual performance. In contrast, this Article argues for the simpler, rawer claim that contractual liability consists of consent to retaliation in the event of breach.

In New York, no detailed study of judicial liens on real property judicial liens on personal property is over forty years old and in any case precedes the dubious reforms instituted by the New York legislature in the Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR). This article fills that gap. This Article is the first installment of an in-depth study of judicial liens in New York. This installment focuses on judicial liens on real property, as regulated by the CPLR. The law pertaining to judicial liens in New York real property has been revealed to be full of contradictions and idiotic caprice. But in the main, civilization in New York seems to have struggled along tolerably well. For all its problems, the real estate regime for judicial liens is in fact blissfully simple, compared to the personal...

The law of trusts consists overwhelmingly of default rules that the settlor who creates the trust may alter negate; however, there are some mandatory rules that the settlor is forbidden to vary. Langbein discusses the recent developments in American trust law that have clarified the mandatory rules--intent-defeating rules that restrict the settlor's autonomy and intent-serving rules whose purpose is to discern and implement the settlor's true intent--and explores the rationale for these rules.
