Question:

1. What was the bank attempting to do in its contract with its safety box customers?
2. Why did the Illinois Supreme Court conclude that this exculpatory clause was unenforceable?

Justice Thomas delivered the opinion of the court:
At issue is whether the exculpatory clause in defendant Firstar Bank’s safety deposit box rental agreement is enforceable under the facts of this case.
