47. Braden has put up an advertisement to sell his Business Law textbook, for $75, on a bulletin board outside The Grove on the NSC campus. Gavin meets up with Braden and makes the following statement to Braden: I am thinking of buying your Bus Law textbook, but it would need to be for a lower price I am thinking about $60. Braden says: I accept. Gavin says: Not so fast - I am not sure I want your book yet. Braden says: You just bought it! Better hand over your money now, or I will take you to court! What is the status of this negotiation?? a. Gavin made a valid offer to Braden. Braden accepted it, so now they have an agreement. Assuming the other elements of a contract are there, Braden can enforce this in court. b. Gavins statement was too vague to be a valid offer. Therefore Bradens attempted acceptance will not be effective, and there is no contract that could be enforced in court. c. There was nothing in writing, so the court would not enforce this as a contract anyway.

48. Stanford, Rache and Hamdi talk after class, and make an agreement to meet on Sunday at 1 pm in the NSC Library, to work on the take-home exam together. Stanford goes out partying on Saturday night and stays up until 7 in the morning. He sleeps all morning and all afternoon on Sunday, and does not show up for the meeting with Rache and Hamdi. Rache and Hamdi are mad at Stanford, and threaten to sue him for breach of contract! Does he have a legal defense? How much could they get if they take him to court?? a. Stanford has no legal defense for his actions (or lack of action). Clearly this was a breach of contract, and he could owe Rache and Hamdi a lot of money. b. Stanford may have made an agreement with Rache and Hamdi, but this was not a contract, so he would not owe them anything (except an apology!). c. Yes, this was a breach of contract, but Rache and Hamdi are probably not going to be able to prove much in the way of actual damages!

49. What was the basics of the ruling in the recent US Supreme Court case, Carpenter v. United States, decided June 22, 2018? (This will probably not be in your text-book, as it was decided fairly recently.) a. The government can legally obtain location history from your mobile-phone service provider (like Verizon), that would show where your phone has been (and thus where you have been) without having to get a search warrant. b. The government must get a search warrant from a court first, a protection based on the First Amendment to the US Constitution, before asking your mobile-phone service provider for your location history records. c. The government must get a search warrant from a court first, a protection based on the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution, before asking your mobile-phone service provider for your location history records.
