Haha. You are a law student right??? you tell me whether a contract is binding when you sign on it leh. be confident of your knowledge - you will be advising real life clients next time! The principles of contract law don't change just because it is a real life contract and not something out of your casebook.

Gentle ribbing aside, the question is whether there is any thing worth enforcing in the contract. look at the terms of the contract, in particular penalties & claw backs (for stipend).

you will be comforted to know that breaking TC contracts is a frequent practice with no repercussion. if you can think of doing it, rest assured you're not the first to have done it. break away, you little rascal
