Your client is the driver of a pickup truck who ran through a red light because her tire suddenly blew. The client’s truck struck a pedestrian who was crossing at the crosswalk, seriously injuring him. The pedestrian sued the client for his injuries. At trial both parties stipulated to the above facts, and that a statute in the jurisdiction required vehicles to stop at red lights. The client testified that she had not previously had any indication of problems with her tire. At the close of the evidence, the pedestrian moved for a directed verdict in his favor. If the motion is granted, the pedestrian will prevail; if it is denied, the case is submitted to the jury. How do you expect the court to rule? Select one.

Your client is a dermatologist who was treating a young teenager’s acne. The client used a newly developed laser treatment that was more effective than the standard laser treatment. However, it carried a 1% risk of causing serious scarring when administered to teenagers, which the client did not mention to the teen’s mother or note in the consent forms, which stated only that a laser treatment would be used. The teen’s treatment was completed without any problem, but the mother looked up the particular treatment on the Internet and learned about the risk. She complained to the client that she would not have consented to use of this particular treatment had she known of the risk, but the client argued that using the new treatment was justified in the teen’s case because it greatly reduced the likelihood of the teen needing a return visit. Does the mother have a cause of action on behalf of the teen against the client? Select one.

A pedestrian was injured by an intoxicated driver and subsequently sued your client, a nightclub, for allegedly serving too much alcohol to the driver. At trial, you called the nightclub’s bartender to the stand. Surprisingly, the bartender testified that she served the driver approximately nine margaritas on the night in question. You question the bartender about her deposition testimony, in which she said that she had served the driver one margarita and then “cut him off” because he seemed too intoxicated. The bartender denies having made the statement, and you seek to admit the deposition statement into evidence. Is this likely to be permissible? Select one.

You represent a client who was involved in a boating accident. A 12-year-old girl who lived in a waterfront home with her parents in a chain of lakes region had learned to operate the family’s motorboat when she was 10, and has used it regularly since then. A state statute permitted persons 10 and above to operate a motorized vessel as long as they have completed a boating safety class, which the girl had done. One day the girl and her friend took the boat out to visit a park along a neighboring lake. As she was going through a narrow channel to the other lake, she was distracted by a video on her friend’s phone and struck your client’s boat heading in the opposite direction in the channel. If you file a lawsuit on behalf of your client against the girl to recover for the damage to his boat, which of the following statements is most correct regarding the standard of care to be applied? Select one.

You represent a farmer. On March 1, the farmer offered to sell his farmland to a real estate developer for $500,000. The real estate developer paid the farmer $5,000 to hold the offer open for a period of 30 days. On March 10, the real estate developer wrote to the farmer, telling him that she could not pay more than $450,000 for the farmland, and that if he would not agree to accept that amount, she would not go through with the deal. The real estate developer received no reply from the farmer. On March 29, the real estate developer mailed a letter to the farmer telling him that she accepted his offer to sell the farmland and enclosed a check for $500,000. The farmer received this letter on April 1. The farmer wants to know if the parties have a contract, so he contacts you for advice. Should you advise him that a contract has been formed between the parties for the sale of the farmland? Select one.
