Jackson Contract Law Case

Introduction This question requires an examination of the law of contract and the nature of the subject matter that was contracted between the parties. Only Antonia and Jonathan are legally bound by and entitled to enforce the contract (Coulls v Bagot’s ) and may sue or be sued under the contract.

If the contract validly terminated, all future obligation will be terminated, but obligations arising prior to termination remains intact.

The book A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr explains the predicament of a lawyer who rejected a case that was very risky and complicated as a personal injury lawyer. Through various legal concepts and terminologies discussed in class, the story details how the judicial system operates. Particularly, the case involves victims of childhood leukemia in the small town of Woburn, Massachusetts, where the city wells have been found to be contaminated with tetrachloroethylene (TCE) — a suspected carcinogen and other industrial byproducts. (Glantz, 1998). Two of the largest corporations, companies names, each with a plant near the wells were accused of being responsible.

I do not believe there is a contract to convey real property between Wilbert Heikkila and David McLaughlin. McLaughlin agreed to buy three parcels of property for $145,000, $32,000 and $175,000. McLaughlin submitted his offer to Heikkila and earnest money checks. However after McLaughlin submitted the written offer to Heikkila, Heikkila changed the selling price of all three parcels, change the closing dates, and added a reservation.

On July 14, 2002 Defendant Jackson decided to break into victim home. The victim went out for about an hour on the morning and returned home to find defendant in his room. The victim threw his keys at defendant, and defendant ran and obnubilated in a closet. The victim pulled on the closet door, but defendant was prehending the doorknob on the inside. Defendant then relinquished the doorknob and sprang from the closet; the victim prehended him and they fell together onto the bed, breaking it.

Arbitration is the leading form of international commercial dispute resolution. However, public policy may be invoked to make certain subject matter inarbitrable. This article deals with one of these putatively inarbitrable areas: intellectual property. It examines from the point of view of general policy the question of whether, and if so, to what extent, there are limits on the subject matter of intellectual property disputes that may be regulated by arbitration. In addition, it surveys the current state of the law on the arbitrability of international intellectual property disputes in a selection of countries.

Assistant District Attorney John Norsetter concealed exculpatory evidence for close 11 years. Ralph Armstrong was convicted for rape and murder in 1995. John Norsetter was aware that Armstrong was not guilty of such tarrying crime, however, he remained silence even though he knew Armstrong was innocent. Back in 1995, a woman made a call to the district attorney testifying that Stephen Armstrong, who was Ralph’s cousin was the responsible of the crime. The prosecutor never told defense attorneys of such valuable information.

In McClesky v. Kemp the Supreme Court held that a study showing the death penalty in Georgia was imposed on black defendants disproportionately to white defendants failed to establish that any of the decision makers involved in the process acted with a discriminatory purpose. McClesky is a notable case in several respects. First, it highlighted the integrated nature of the criminal justice system and how each component functions to reach a certain result. Second, it emphasized the debate on which actors in the justice system have the most power and what role that power plays in reaching the result. Third, the case also underscored the importance on prosecutors keeping records of their decisions at varying stages of the criminal justice process.

(I) Introduction: In the judgements of McGhee and Fairchild, the distinction between factual causation and legal causation has been obscured. It is argued that the material contribution test has altered the path of the law. I believe this to be correct. The material contribution test for legal causation has become a tool that can be adapted to allow the plaintiff to recover even when the sine qua non rule cannot be applied and when cause-in-fact fails to be established.
