Challenging the Law Online: Southwestern Law Review Symposium on Nancy Kim's Wrap Contracts

Abstract
In this essay, the author suggests the role of public opinion could be better harnessed to galvanize opposition to oppressive online terms. Because of the way websites have used this power to impose their own territorial laws, ordinary contract doctrine is ill-equipped to handle any type of review of those laws’ legality. Instead, as Professor Kim notes, other solutions are necessary that focus on true agreement to terms, the existence of choice, and substantive limits on websites’ ability to dictate the law.
