The statute of frauds require that some contracts be memorialized in a "writing."Do you think that more contracts should have to be in writing to be enforceable?If so, what types of contracts do you believe should also require a written agreement?Do you think that it is unfair to refuse to enforce an agreement just because it was not in writing ifthe statute of frauds required it to be so?Do you think that electronic signatures made during an internet transaction should be given the same legal effect as though you were signing a document in person?Why or why not?

What do you think about such clauses?Doyou think they are fair?Do you think they should be included in contracts?Why?And, if they are, whose morality controls?What if a studio wanted to terminate their movie contract with Tom Cruise, for example,becausethe Church of Scientology was getting some negativepress in recent days.Doesn't a company assume the risk that their talent may behave badly or may behave in a way that will be viewed negatively by some?Thoughts?
