Assignments

Chapter 10 Part 1:

Chapter 10 - Star Chevrolet v. Green. 

This is one of the leading U.S. cases regarding contracts with minors.  Which is never a good idea for someone in business.    Read the case synopsis and  1) summarize the issues in this case, and; 2) explain how the court held in the case and why the court held as it did.  Relate the information contained in chapter 10 regarding contract with minors to the issues and holding in this case. 

It relates to General objectives 2, 3, 4 and 7.

Be sure to review the rubric for this assignment. Chapter 10 Part 1 Rubric ]

Chapter 10 Part 2: 

Case question #2 on page 238. Anglin v. Berry 912 S.W.2d 633, App., Mo. (1995).   

The case questions involve actual cases, so google those cases and the citations given in the text and read about the actual case.  It will help in answering the question.   This case has to do with contract avoidance because the Plaintiff claims there was no "meeting of the mind"  with regard to the contract.  

Be sure to review the   Chapter 10 Part 2 Rubric for this assignment.
