Was this an executed (completed) contract or was the contract breached in any way?

Consider a situation in which you or someone you know engaged in a written or oral contract. Using the essential elements of an enforceable contract, provide a basic analysis of whether a contract exists. Are there any defenses or a breach issue? If the answer to the latter question is yes, discuss options under the contact considering the potential of “substantial performance” and “inferior performance” along with potential remedies for the non-breaching party. Write a three to five (3-5) page paper on this instance applying the principles of contract law discussed in the course. You must research the subject matter of your essay and provide at least two (2) outside sources (your textbook counts as one) to support your writing. Use the following guidelines to format your paper:

  • Title Page
    • Topic of the Paper
    • Student Name
    • Name of the Course
    • Instructor’s Name
    • Date Due
  • Introduction
    • Describe the issue/topic area.
    • Define and describe any specific position(s) taken in this paper.
    • Provide an overview of the scope of what will be addressed in the paper.
  • Analysis
    • Discuss the necessary elements of a contract including 1) agreement (offer and acceptance); 2) consideration; 3) contractual capacity (minor and lack of sanity); and 4)lawful object. (See chapter nine in your text). I would have one paragraph focusing on whether the contract contains the appropriate offer, acceptance, and consideration. Cite the relevant law, then use your facts to demonstrate whether that legal element does and does not exist.
    • If a defense does exist, discuss it here. If no offenses exist, simply tell me the reader this.
    • Discuss the differences between “Substantial Performance” and “Inferior Performance” breach and whether breach pertains to your factual situation.
    • Consider the rights of the non-breaching party if applicable. If this contract is without defenses and has been executed (complete), this is where you would let me know this.
    • Explain the options the non-breaching party may have (deduct cost of remedy, recover costs, rescind contract, consequential damages, etc.)
    • At what point in the process would one be best advised to seek legal counsel?
    • This section must reflect an analysis and understanding of contract law.
  • Conclusion
    • The discussion must be constructive and reflect the main points of your analysis.
  • Reference Page
    • List your references using the APA style. Please include cites within the body of the paper.
    • Include at least two references. One may be the Textbook.
  • Format
    • Write your paper using APA style.
    • This paper must be at least three pages in length (not including the title page and reference page).

This assignment is due in your Assignment Folder by midnight on Sunday of the fourth week (February 7). Please see information on how the paper will be graded below.

As stated above, your textbook is fine, but should not be the only source you rely on. When it comes to preparing for your project, you need to consider using scholarly sources and not simply relying on information found on websites. For example, while Wikipedia is a frequently used source of information, it has one LARGE flaw: the information contained in Wikipedia is open to editing by anyone. No one is judging the validity of the information. In other words, you do not know whether the information is correct or not. I suggest you do the following: first, look at the references that are listed in the Wikipedia subject. What you should look for are independent research or scholarly articles, which document and explore the topic. When you research those sources, they will list other sources; read those sources as well. What you should be looking for are articles or research that collectively present a variety of positions. When you are finished with your research, I want you to take a position for your papers and strengthen your opinion by using the research that supports those arguments.

If you have trouble knowing where in the library to look for these sources or how to find appropriate sources, do not hesitate to contact me. If you have any questions about references that you want to use, again shoot me an e-mail. One of my goals for this class is that you learn to examine various points of view and be able to synthesize the information for your use and benefit.

Since you will have only covered the first portion of contracts by the time you submit your Report, I want you to consider these additional guidelines.

1. Does the contract meet the necessary elements–state the law and then demonstrate whether your contract has a valid offer, acceptance and consideration.

 

2. Do you have capacity and does the contract deal with a lawful object? Explain.

 

3. Was this an executed (completed) contract or was the contract breached in any way? Explain.

 

4. If the contract was breached, do substantial or inferior performance apply?

 

5. Any remedies (if relevant).

Describe the types of data collected (for example, crimes committed, offender data, and victim data).

For this assignment, you will explore the official sources of crime data. Crime data is the foundation for theory building. Crime data makes it important for criminologists to identify patterns. Patterns help researchers and policy makers determine the best paths and solutions. Patterns also indicate if something is a onetime occurrence or a recurrent phenomenon.

Tasks:

Read your textbook as well as any external source to prepare an 8 to 10 slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. In your presentation:

  • Identify four sources of crime data.
  • Identify the data collection methods as well as the agencies in charge of the data.
  • Describe the types of data collected (for example, crimes committed, offender data, and victim data).
  • Describe the pros and cons of each data set.
  • Describe three crime trends from the identified sources of crime data.

Note: Include a reference page formatted in APA style that links back to your in-text citations and supports your recommendations. Remember, you must have both in-text citations and references because they are linked to each other.
