You'll read about "Adhesion Contracts" which are a type of contracts that are challenged more often than other types of contracts, due to potentially unconscionability. Whether you realize it or not, you've all entered into an adhesion contract at some point, and most of you have probably entered into many of them.

In terms of contract law, what is meant by the phrase "meeting of the minds"? The two parties have met but have yet to agree to the terms and conditions of the contract. One party has a list of their desired terms and conditions and is ready to meet with the other party to discuss them. Both parties to the contract have a general idea of what they want but the specifics still need to be worked out. All the terms and conditions needed for full acceptance of the offer have been agreed upon by the two parties to the contract.
