Maxwell and Christopher decide to fight each other. They write and sign a contract saying they will fight for three rounds of two minutes each. The contract specifies some types of attacks that are allowed and some that are not, but it is not entirely clear. The only specific rule is that no weapons are allowed. Within the first minute of the first round, each is accusing the other of using moves that are forbidden by the contract. By the end of the first round, both Maxwell and Christopher are using swords to fight each other. Thankfully, they are terrible with swords, and no one is hurt by a sword. They become too tired to continue. 

Maxwell is 25 years old and Christopher is 10. Maxwell is Christopher's babysitter, but he is not paid by either of Christopher's parents. 

Maxwell was born and raised in Colorado. The encounter goes viral, and the state of New York passes a law that states that all persons born and raised in Colorado cannot be babysitters. 

ISSUES TO CHOOSE FROM, YOU ONLY NEED TO CHOOSE ONE:

Did Maxwell commit the crime of assault?

Did Maxwell and Christopher breach their contract?

Instead, your job is to explain as best as you can based on what you have in your notes. It is perfectly acceptable, and expected, that answers will include a lot of sentences like: "It would depend upon..." or "The court might____ but it could also _____."
