>"Where is a good place to learn the ins and outs of contracts?"
It's more an issue of customer relations than contracts. Contract specifics should be a reflection of that relationship (or lack thereof).
The way most people really learn customer relations or contracts is The School of Hard Knocks. The introductory sequence consists of SHK101 - Get it in Writing, SHK190 - Retainers, SHK225 - Applying Retainers to Final Invoice, and SHK230 - Termination Fees.
