Contracts
LAW 511 Section 123
Michael J. Borden
Dear Students,
Welcome to Cleveland-Marshall. I look forward to meeting you all very soon.
Your assignment for the first week of class is the following:
Purchase the casebook, Problems in Contract Law (Knapp, Crystal and Prince; 7th Edition)
For Monday, August 22, Please read pages 1-17 and 31-43.
Pages 1-17 are background information, which we will discuss only briefly. We will spend most of the class talking about our first case, Ray v. William G. Eurice & Bros., Inc. Please read this case carefully at least twice. Think about how this dispute got to the point where we are reading about it in an appellate opinion. Pay attention to the reasoning of the lower court. How did the appellate court see things differently than the lower court? Why do you think they saw things differently. What was the appellate court's reasoning? What was the basis for the decision? What did the opinion have to teach us about the concept of intent?
For Tuesday, August 23, Please read pages 43-53.
For Thursday, August 25, Please read pages 53-60.
