Question 2 – 8 Points  Izzy Paul was employed by Acme Distribution, Inc. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  However, she was unhappy with her position and was looking for a different job.  She interviewed with other prospective employers over a period of 1 year.  Finally, after many interviews she received an offer for a new job at Dayco Company in California.  The offer, which was included in a letter to Izzy from Peter Smith, the Dayco executive who interviewed her, set forth only a summary of the terms and conditions of employment: compensation and job responsibilities; but it did not address many of the other normal terms, for example, starting date and fringe benefits that would be available to Izzy.  The offer also provided as follows: “If you are interested in this position, we would like to hear from you in the next month or so.”  Izzy was very excited about the opportunity with Dayco and immediately gave notice to Acme that she was quitting.  She also entered into a lease for an apartment in California and found a sublet to take over her lease in Milwaukee.  Because her salary with Dayco would increase substantially, she also signed a contract to purchase a new expensive car with a delivery date of September 30.  Smith, the Dayco executive, learned through a mutual friend that Izzy was intending to accept the Dayco offer of employment and that she was already planning her move to California.  Unfortunately, in the meantime, another more qualified applicant interviewed for the job at Dayco.  Smith decided to revoke the offer made to Izzy and hire the other person.  He sent Izzy a letter withdrawing the offer of employment included in the September 1 correspondence.  Of course Izzy was devastated by the news and believes that Dayco is liable to her under the circumstances based on a claim of promissory estoppel.  REQUIRED (8 Points).    Identify in separate numbered or lettered paragraphs the elements that Izzy must establish in order to succeed in her claim and put forth the best arguments she can make for each of those elements. 

Question 3 – 7 Points Dolly rents a luxury apartment from Maxwell. The written and signed lease provides for a 5 year lease term. Dolly is required to pay Maxwell rent of $9,500 per month. At the time, Dolly could afford the rent because she had a high paying job as a patent attorney. After three years of renting the apartment, Dolly lost her job. Dolly could no longer afford to pay $9,500 per month and approached Maxwell about modifying the lease. Dolly told Maxwell that she could probably afford rent in the amount of $6,000 per month because of her savings. Maxwell could not afford to lose another tenant in his building but he was also mad at Dolly trying to renegotiate her lease payment. Maxwell told Dolly that he would agree to the decreased monthly rent payments if Dolly agreed to extend his lease by another year – so that the total lease term would now be 6 years instead of five. Dolly agreed. Maxwell’s lawyer prepared a simple one-page amendment to the lease which provided that the monthly rent would decrease to $6,000 per month and that Dolly would agree to extend her lease term by one year, for a total lease term of six years. Both Maxwell and Dolly signed the amendment. Dolly began paying $6,000 per month. After three months Gill approached Maxwell and indicated that he really wants Dolly’s apartment and is willing to pay more than $9,500 a month in rent. Maxwell now wants out of the lease and lease amendment he entered into with Dolly so that he can rent to Gill at the higher rent. Maxwell sent Dolly a letter telling her that the amendment was unenforceable because it lacked consideration. Dolly does not want to leave the apartment. REQUIRED (7 Points): Is Maxwell correct that the lease amendment is unenforceable for lack of consideration? Who wins? Discuss.

After reviewing the agreement, Chris Cote signed the agreement, which provided in part the following:  Employee [Chris Cote] agree that for valid consideration including your salary and your bonus structure, that for a period of 12 months after you leave the employment of Smart Intel  or after you are terminated for cause, that you will not work as a chief technology officer, technology consultant, advisor, or employee or independent contractor for any company operating in the Northeast region of the United States (Washington, Oregon, and Northern California) for any company that is engaged in the provision of technology services and products for business customers.  You [Chris Cote] agree that this provision is fair given our access to Smart Intel ’s financial information, oversight over the future of the company, and access to customers. In early 2025, Chris Cote decided to move jobs.   He was approached by West by West Technolgy about coming to work with them as a technology advisor and consultant.  West by West is a direct competitor with Smart Intel.  Chris Cote is considering leaving Smart Intel  to go work with West by West.   Chris Cote approaches you, his friend, and asks for your opinion as to whether his agreement with Smart Intel would prohibit him from working for West by West.  REQUIRED (8 Points): You conclude that Chris Cote’s agreement with Smart Intel would prohibit and restrict him from immediately taking the job with West by West.  In separately lettered or numbered paragraphs discuss the reasons why you have concluded that Chris Cote’s non-compete is enforceable.
