1.Non-compete agreements are a great example of contract clauses that some courts hesitate to enforce, especially if their terms seem "unreasonable." A typical situation might go as follows: An employer presents a new employee with a pile of paperwork to quickly review and sign on the morning of their first day at work. Buried in there someplace is a non-compete clause, which says something like, "Employee agrees that during their employment and for [some period of] months or years following its termination, they will not engage in, own, control or be employed by any venture substantially similar to or in competition with this company." The employee might read it or might not--but they sign it. Later, after they are fired or quit the company, they want to accept a job with a competitor, but are concerned about breaching the contract they signed.

a. California won't enforce non-compete agreements at all. Washington will only enforce those with terms that are "reasonable." What do you think? Is it "unconscionable" for employers to restrict the movement of prior employees, or would it be better to let them move freely? Explain.(2 pts.)
