This class looks at the law behind the headlines. Is spilling coffee the equivalent of winning the litigation lottery? Since the sitcom Seinfeld can be about nothing, must a lawsuit against Jerry Seinfeld be about something? Several notable cases have made headlines recently, such as the McDonalds hot coffee case, Hobby Lobby’s fight against the Un-Affordable Care Tax, and Constanza v. Seinfeld. This class, for the general practitioner and any lawyer with a Facebook account, examines the law behind the laughs. Because who knows, maybe one day you too might spill a hot beverage and want to know your rights!

Featuring Comedian of Law, Joel Oster

Letter of intent in business transactions are intended to set a framework for negotiation of definitive contracts. They are not intended to be enforceable agreements. But if they become too detailed, there are certain forms of communications, or counter-parties are induced to rely on their terms, they can become enforceable. This program will discuss the key terms of letters of intent, the tripping line between statements of intention and enforceability, and using letters of intent to establish a strategic bargaining position for drafting final documents.
