1. Criminal law: Police suspected that Adam Albert was growing marijuana in his personal residence. Using thermal heat detectors, they were able to detect unusual high levels of indoor temperature. Growing marijuana requires significant amount of light which generates heat. Based on the findings of the heat detectors, police were able to obtain a search warrant for the residence and found marijuana being grown illegally. On trial, Adam Albert argued that the use of the heat sensors was an illegal search because it searched the interior of his house which is a protected area. The police argued that they never entered into the home and the heat showing on the exterior of the house should be considered "in plain sight" and not need a search warrant. Note that the heat patterns in growing marijuana are significantly different than those of individuals who maintain a warmer than usual setting in their home Should the court consider the existence of the heat "plain sight" or not.

2. (Consideration) In June 2018, when his daughter Mary was graduating from State University, two trustees of State University visited George Green to solicit funds for the university. The trustees tried to impress on need for the funds and the excellent quality of education his daughter received. Green listened to them and agreed to give $5,000, payable at $1,000 per year June 1 of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. There was a voice recording of the promise on one of the trustee's phone but no written record. Green paid the 2018 and 2019 amounts but has refused to make any further payments. Does State University have an enforceable agreement with Green? If they sue him can they collect the balance of $3,000?
