Memorandum

/in /by

Candie Cardigan as a representative for CARDWARE has decided to auction her strapless giraffe print dress made of silk, satin with velvet markings. This particular dress was used in a movie filmed in S. Africa. The dress had been show cased among other famous dresses in the Silkadonia Actors Guild Museum. Cassie Cardigan was chosen to act as the auctioneer for World Wide Auction House. The bidding for the dress began at $5,000. Pearl has been looking forward to participating in the auction for this dress for over three months. Pearl raised her auction paddle and bid the initial $5,000. Jade also wanted the giraffe print dress and upped the ante to $5,500. The two battled the bidding to where it appeared that Pearl got the dress for $8,500.00, as Cassie smiled and nodded at Pearl.

Candie and Jade had been friends for years, as they had modeled together growing up as children. Candie quietly told Cassie to sell the dress to Jade. When Pearl presented $8,500 to Cassie, Cassie refused to take her money claiming that the dress was to go to Jade. Cassie further explained that Jade had allegedly had raised her paddle after Pearl’s final bid and showed five fingers meaning that she was bidding $500.00 more over the $8,500.00 bid made by Pearl. In reality, no such action by Jade had taken place.

Pearl now wants to sue for breach of contract. She has come to your office asking for your help. She wants you to request that Candie turn the dress over to her for the $8,500 that she bid. Your supervising attorney Les Agne indicates that you should investigate a cause of action for breach of contract, as well as a cause of action based on specific performance. Be aware of whom the true Plaintiff may be in this potential case and who causes of action may be brought against. Also, Les has scribbled the following notes to help you with organizing your thoughts regarding Specific Performance.

Dear Paralegal:

After you establish a contract exists as a result of the auctioning of the giraffe print dress, you may want to consider the following with regard to specific performance:

· You must have a contract in place

· The remedy at law must not be adequate (hence damages alone will not provide relief to the party who is seeking specific performance.

· The remedy must be enforceable

· If one party can bring the action for specific performance, so can the other if the positions were reversed.

· If there were any conditions to the contract, all were satisfied.

Be sure to discuss defenses with regard to the contract. In other words, what will Candie or the Auction House say in response to there being a contract?

CRITICAL BOOK REVIEW

Laaser, M. R. (2004). Healing the wounds of sexual addiction. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan. ISBN: 978-0310256571.

CRITICAL BOOK REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS
A critique is more than a summary of the book, article, and/or chapter being reviewed. The emphasis is on a discussion and evaluation of the topic, not just a description. Further, it must be remembered that critical is not necessarily synonymous with bad or unfavorable. Critical reviews may be positive, negative, or a combination of both.
In Module/Week 4, you will submit a 5-page critical book review over the Laaser text. Three specific sections (Summary, Analysis, and Conclusion) will be required. Adhering to current APA format guidelines for in-text citations and references is required. View the instructions and grading rubric located within the Assignment Instructions folder in the course for specific expectations for this assignment. This assignment must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 4.Your critique must be 5–6 full pages of content and include the following 3 sections:
I.Summary
•Summarize the issue/topic addressed. Explain why the author(s) think the issue/topic is important.
•Briefly highlight the major themes (or sub-topics) being explored.
This part of the critique must be about 2 pages, double-spaced. Do not make it longer than 2½ pages.
II.Analysis
This section must critically analyze and evaluate the work being reviewed. Some of the questions you may want to consider in this part are:
•What is the point of view of the author(s)? What perspective (ideological, philosophical) do they bring to the work? Is their perspective implicit (gleaned from reading “between the lines†) or explicit (openly stated)?
•What kind of evidence to they bring to support their viewpoint? Is it adequate?
•How clear is the argument? Does it flow logically? Are there gaps, inconsistencies, or contradictions in the discussion or argument?
Support your response with examples from the work itself and from your knowledge of the issue/topic. Be sure to go beyond stating your opinion; it is not enough to say you agree or disagree with the author’s point of view. Substantiate your claims!
III.Conclusion
•Of what value is the book? What does it add (if anything) to the discourse?
•Who would find the piece helpful and why?

Other Specifics:
