Replay Baseball has expanded its operations to several Midwest states including Illinois.This expansion now accounts for thirty percent of its business.Nucky has hired Eli, a 62 year-old Native American who resides in Massachusetts, to deliver baseballs to this new region.Eli is kept very busy and works fifty hours per week.Eli delivers the baseballs in a large tractor-trailer that Nucky purchased from Empire Trucks, a small truck dealer operating exclusively in Boston, Massachusetts.Nucky has designed the trailer depicting several scantily clad women in bathing suits holding baseballs.The trailer does not include rear windshield wipers in the back of the cab.

Massachusetts passes two laws:

A law limiting the number of hours to 30 that those over the age of 60 may drive in commercial vehicles.

5.Does Eli have a Constitutional argument opposing the enforcement of this law?Does Replay Baseball have a Constitutional argument against the enforcement of this law?

A law prohibiting the use of women in bathing suits in advertisements.

6.Does Replay Baseball have a Constitutional argument opposing the new law?

Nucky fires Eli because he feels that he is too old and he does not care for Native Americans.

7.Does Eli have an argument that Nucky violated his rights under the 14thAmendment?

What if the federal government passes a law mandating that all tractor-trailers must include a new spray-on product on rear windshields that it claims is superior to windshield wipers.

2.Is this law Constitutional?How do courts resolve the differences between the two laws?

Nucky decides that he will build a new home in Massachusetts with a large Jacuzzi.He compiles specifications for the construction of the home and sends it to several general contractors so they may provide bids/quotations.Part of the general contract includes a large plumbing sub contract.Boardwalk Construction submits a bid to Nucky for $20 million to serve as the general contractor.As part of its general bid, Boardwalk Construction factored $1 million for plumbing based upon a sub bid submitted by Atlantic Plumbing.There were two other bids for the plumbing work.Boardwalk Construction and Atlantic Plumbing have a falling out and Atlantic Plumbing no longer wants to work on the project.The two other bids were for $10 million each respectively.

9.Discuss whether Atlantic Plumbing may revoke its offer.What are the competing arguments?Are there any other important facts?

Boardwalk Construction is working on small renovation project for Capone at his home.There is no written contract, but the two have orally agreed that Boardwalk will renovate Capone's garage for $75,000.The two have agreed that construction is to be completed within one month.Two weeks later, Boardwalk approaches Capone and complains that the cost of nails has increased by 40% and that the cold weather has slowed the construction project.Boardwalk and Capone agree to increase the contact by $5,000 and to extend the completion date by three weeks.Each party agrees in writing to this change.Upon completion of the project, Boardwalk sends Capone a bill for $80,000.

10.How much does Capone have to pay?What are the competing arguments?
