I can’t believe the semester is nearly over! I’ve learned a lot!
Another thing I enjoy about GEN1014 (Making Money with Genealogy) is that the class goes over contracts. They shed light on different kinds of agreements, their purpose, and their legal jargon.

To give a brief description of my understanding… contracts should almost always be implemented. The exception may be if the genealogist really knows their client well (and even then it’s recommended to use contracts). Generally, the less genealogists know their clients the more formal their contracts are written, but this can be a balancing act. Extremely formal contracts can scare customers away.
Agreements can be verbal, written in letters, or emails, and so forth. However, legal phrases can be deceptive! Some wordage only protects individuals while the genealogy service is being performed. Others protect during and after. It’s important to know the ins-and-outs of legal expressions!

Although my class covered agreements in detail, I still don’t fully understand them. However, thanks to GEN1014 I know where to look to learn more about them in explicit detail. And in the end, “Knowledge is power” (Sir Francis Bacon, 1561-1626).
