Question

The case Jacob & Youngs, Inc. v. Kent established how the doctrine of substantial performance for these things can be used in place of the perfect tender doctrine. The mirror image rule concerns these things. The parol evidence rule governs which evidence is admissible into a dispute over one of these things, which originally come out of a “meeting of minds.” (20[1]0[1])While some of these (20[1])things (20[1]0[1])will have a (*) “hell or high water” part, many have a force majeure part (0[1])that allows (10[1]0[1])one group to be released (10[1]0[1])due (10[1])to an (10[1])“Act (10[2])of God” without (10[1])breach. (0[2])Laws concerning (10[2])torts (0[1])and these things make (10[1])up obligation law. (10[1]0[1])For 10 points, the acceptance (10[1])of an offer creates (10[1]0[1])what legally (10[1])binding (10[2]0[1])agreements (10[5])between two (10[1])parties? (10[2])■END■ (10[8])

ANSWER: contracts [accept contract dispute or breach of contract; accept contract offer or contract formation; prompt on putative synonyms such as agreements; prompt on offer before mention with “Of what?”]
