The Paper Chase Page #4

from you...

an old apartment which you

hadn't visited in a while...

and the time came

for me to move in...

and we discovered the apartment

house had burned down.

That actually happened to me.

Personal comment

is not necessary.

Hello.

Hello.

I was walking by

and I saw your light.

How nice. Come in.

It's very interesting

to me how quickly...

the classes have divided up

into three factions.

One faction being the students

who sit in the back.

Given up sitting

in their assigned seats...

preparing the cases.

What is it, only October?

They've already

given up trying.

Cowards.

The second group are the ones

who won't raise their hands...

or volunteer an answer,

but will try when called upon.

That's where I am,

right now...

living in a state

of constant fear.

And then there's

the third echelon.

The upper echelon.

The volunteers.

They raise

their hands in class.

They thrust themselves

into the fray.

I don't think they're smarter

than anyone else...

but they have courage.

And they'll achieve

the final recognition.

The teachers will get

to know their names...

and they'll get better...

better grades.

Past couple weeks, I've been

preparing for the upper echelon...

and this weekend if

I get all my work done...

I'm going to enter it

Monday morning.

In Kingsfield's

contract law class.

The facts of

Carbolic Smoke Ball.

Miss Farranti?

This is a case

where the defendants...

entered an advertisement

in the Pall Mall Gazette...

November 1891...

stating that a 100 reward

would be paid...

by The Carbolic

Smoke Ball Company...

to any person who contracted

influenza or a cold...

or any disease

caused by taking cold...

after using the ball

according to the directions.

Now, on the strength

of this advertisement...

a Mrs. Carlill

bought a smoke ball...

used it according

to the directions...

until she developed

influenza.

What were the reasons

for the court's finding...

in favor of Mrs. Carlill?

She had fulfilled

the conditions of the offer.

The bargain was complete.

Was there a bargain?

Was there communication

between the parties?

Was she not obligated

to notify the company...

that she had accepted

their offer?

Mr. Hart.

It's obvious that notice

is not important here.

The offer requires no notice

or personal communication.

What is important

is consideration.

Question... Did Mrs. Carlill

give anything to the company?

The company argues that

Mrs. Carlill, in using the ball...

did absolutely nothing

for them.

All they were interested in

was the sale itself.

The answer to that

is obvious.

Of course, they benefit

from the sale itself...

but beyond this...
