Application: The Elements of a Contract
A contract has three key elements: offer, acceptance, and
consideration. If these three elements are not present, a contract
may not exist. Sometimes, the presence of these elements can be
elusive. For example, the mental intent of the parties may
determine the existence of a contract. How can you determine a
person's intent? Clearly, this is a complex area of law where
litigation should be left to lawyers. A public administrator,
however, may have to form contracts as part of his or her job
responsibilities. As such, he or she must be aware of the
elements of contracting so as to enter into the most
advantageous agreement for his or her organization while
avoiding illegal contracts.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review Chapter 8 in
The Study of Law: A Critical Thinking Approach
(4th ed.). Reflect on how contracts are formed, destroyed,
modified, and broken.
Review the article "Contract Law: An Introduction." Review the
section "The Elements of a Contract" to refresh your
recollection about the basic elements of contracts.
Review the resource "Contract-Based Fact Pattern." Read
carefully for facts that will assist in arguments for and against
the formation of a contract.
Identify elements of a contract in the fact pattern.
Think about whether a contract exists in the fact pattern.
Consider possible defenses against the formation of a contract
in the fact pattern.
The assignment (2–3 pages):
Describe the elements of a contract in the fact pattern.
Explain whether you think a contract exists. Use facts from the
fact pattern to argue your opinion.
Explain two possible defenses against the formation of a
contract in the fact pattern.
Support your Application Assignment with specific references
to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to
provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the
Learning Resources for this course.
