Daphne is on a two-week vacation visiting California, where she has never been before. She meets Paolo, who used to work as a tour guide throughout the state, and who happens to be on vacation in the same hotel as Daphne. Daphne and Paolo then enter into a valid written contract whereby Daphne will pay Paolo $1,000, and Paolo will show Daphne the best spots to visit as a tourist over the next two weeks. Paolo shows Daphne several spots over the course of the next week. Daphne is enjoying herself, but Paolo finds it quite boring and decides that he would rather relax in the hotel. Paolo tells Daphne he will only continue showing her around for the second week if she pays him a total of $1,500. Daphne agrees, as she is enjoying the spots Paolo is showing her. On the last day of Daphne’s trip, she tells Paolo she’s enjoyed herself so much, and appreciated his company and help so much, that she’ll give him an expensive watch as a thank-you gift. Paolo doubts whether Daphne will actually give him the watch, but he tells her he appreciates it nonetheless. The next day, Paolo realizes that Daphne has left for home, and she never gave him the watch or paid him anything. Paolo reaches out to an attorney to determine whether he should file a lawsuit against Daphne, because she broke her three promises: (A) to pay him $1,000; (B) to pay him $1,500; and (C) to give him the watch. Which of these promises, if any, will Paolo be able to enforce if he sues Daphne? Discuss.

For many years, Art Lawrence (Defendant) has operated a real estate investment business. Defendant placed an ad in the Los Angeles Daily Journal for an attorney with real estate and litigation experience to act as in-house counsel. Ken Chyten (Plaintiff), an attorney, replied to the ad. Defendant was impressed with Plaintiff’s background and after two interviews made him an offer. Plaintiff was concerned about job security and suggested a written long-term contract. The parties negotiated terms and reached agreement. The negotiated terms were then typed up as an agreement entitled, “Personal Services Employment Contract.” The employment contract recited that Defendant “desires to secure a two-year employment commitment from” Plaintiff (described thereafter as Employee). The term of the contract was two years, from September 1, 2023, until August 31, 2025. Salary was $95,000 for the first year and increased $10,000 in the second year. Plaintiff began work under the contract in September 2023. Three months later, in November 2023, he was fired without good cause in violation of the express terms of the written contract. For six weeks immediately after discharge Plaintiff unsuccessfully looked for work by sending out resumes and looking in Daily Journal ads. He received a few responses but no offers. In January 2024, he opened his own practice in Century City, California. Plaintiff sued Defendant for breach of contract. At trial Defendant admitted the breach and raised the affirmative defense of avoidability of damages. Plaintiff showed that during the remainder of the first year of the contract he earned $54,000 from his practice and during the second year he earned $65,000. Defendant asserted that Plaintiff should have looked harder and longer for a job as an employee before relying instead upon opening his own practice, which was characterized as a risky venture with inevitably low early earnings. The jury verdict of $91,000 was the exact amount requested by Plaintiff, representing the difference between the first and second year salaries under the contract and Plaintiff’s first and second year outside earnings. On appeal, Defendant contends that Plaintiff failed to prove he acted reasonably to mitigate his damages and the verdict should be set aside. Please discuss the expected procedural and factual arguments expected on appeal and the likely outcome.

In August 2025, the Illinois General Services Administration (GSA) announced a new Rideshare Agreement with Uber for Government (Uber). This partnership makes rideshare services available to all state government employees anywhere in Illinois. GSA believed the collaboration would help to simplify operations and reduce inefficiencies for employees who have to travel for work, and hoped the program would reduce crime in urban areas known for car theft and late-night assaults and robberies. GSA was particularly concerned with making women feel safe. In December 2025, GSA and Uber released a unique app with innovative safety features and policies for women users. These features include giving women the option to be matched with other women on trips. When requesting a trip, female riders can choose female drivers, and can specify a preference to ride with another female rider. The app will also guide a female rider to a pick-up location where other women also need a ride. And a special feature, Follow My Ride, allows friends and family to follow trips in real time, so female riders and their families can feel safe. Male riders are still able to request trips and be matched with both men and women, and male drivers continue to be able to accept any trip they are offered. Several male drivers and riders have filed a lawsuit in state court against GSA and Uber, claiming the new program disadvantages them by limiting their income and job opportunities, and by reinforcing stereotypes. What claims can the male drivers reasonably make, and what is the likely outcome? Discuss.
