Business Law Simulation Exercise for Managers: Contracts 2 parts

Part 1: Short Writing Exercise- Issue Spotting

Introduction: In this simulation, students analyze the Stipulated Factsand Longville case law and spot as many contract law issues as possible. The analysis is articulated in a multi page neutral (i.e., not advocating a particular side) memorandum.

Assignment:

• Review the Concept Summaries and your notes from Chapters 6 and 7 in the textbook.
• Study the Stipulated Facts and Longville case law in the Simulation Exercise.
• Compose a multi page neutral memorandum that outlines each legal issue present with a short explanation of the applicable legal rules or doctrine. The sources of law for this memorandum are the textbook's chapters on contract formation and performance (Chaps 6 and 7) and the Longville case law.
• Note that it should not be written as an advocate on one side or the other. Rather, you should be as objective as possible in spotting any and all potential issues that could arise in the case relating to contract formation, performance or enforcement of the restrictive covenant and give the analysis as to the likelihood of success of all theories.

Criteria for grading:

• Clarity of writing, grammar, document appearance;
• Articulation of all potential issues presented;
• Quality and depth of analysis.
