Paternalism, unconscionability doctrine, and accommodation

Article Abstract:

The author argues that the unconscionability doctrine is a valid legal tool to foster equality in business transactions, and should not be discounted as paternalist, or interfering with commercial autonomy. While ethics can be cited as the reason to avoid supporting one-sided contracts within the legal system, it does not serve as a completely sufficient reason to refuse support for these types of contracts.
