Summary:

The law provides an opportunity for people to craft the rules that control their relationships-business or otherwise. This is the essence of contract law. Once a contract has been formed, it is generally accomplished without the aid of the court as most feel a moral, if not legal, obligation to perform. What happens when the agreement is not in writing, but based on trust, past practices, and general rules in the applicable business? Is a valid contract formed? Are the parties bound? Or, are they able to walk away? This incident is based upon an actual lawsuit. The dispute arose when a law firm hired a lawyer, but failed to pay a commission to the placement service that allegedly introduced the lawyer to the law firm. In this incident students will assess the elements of contract formation, conditions to the formation of a contract, and breaches.
