In a breach of contract problem that you are working on, a legal issue arises surrounding the formation of the contract at issue. A complaint in the case has been filed in the state circuit court in St. Louis, Missouri (the state's trial court). In your research on the issue, you find 2 cases that are exactly 'on point,' meaning the cases discuss the same legal issue. The first case is from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8^th Circuit and the second case is from the Missouri Court of Appeals. Would either or both of these cases be mandatory/binding? Or would they be considered persuasive authority? Discuss the reasons for your response.
