Read the case of Lambert v. Barron.

What are the most important facts that support Lamberts position that a contract existed?

What are the most important facts that support Barrons position that a contract did not exist?

Do you agree with the outcome of the case?

In response to your peers, if they disagree with your response, consider the factual assumptions they have made which form the foundation of their opinion. Can you challenge those assumptions while furthering your discussion?

If your responses are similar, consider posing a hypothetical question to test your peers conclusions. Regardless of whether you are an attorney arguing in court or a business stakeholder pitching to shareholders or a potential client, adding support for your argument from appropriate resources strengthens your content.

For this discussion board, be sure to include a citation to an appropriate source that supports the point you are making. (HINT: Your textbook is a great source!)
