The Quinceanera problem contains three cases and a section from Farnsworth on Contracts. Thinking about those four authorities, answer the following questions:

• What jurisdiction are you in?
• In what court would you file your complaint?
• Which authorities are primary? Which are secondary? Which authorities are mandatory? Which are persuasive?
• How will you use the four authorities to formulate and draft your rule?

Appendix IV Office Memoranda: Assignments for Part IV The assignment below presents a single issue for analysis. It is a "closed universe" problem: All the necessary authority is provided at the end of the assignment. The dispute in the assignment is set in Arizona, so the Arizona case law provided to you is mandatory authority. Of course, your professor can modify the problem by asking you to conduct research to supplement the materials provided to you in the Assignment, perhaps after setting it in a different jurisdiction. The page numbers within the opinions in the original reporters appear in brackets in the reproductions of the opinions at the end of the assignment. Some of the opinions cite to other authorities in a form other than standard citation form. When you cite to any authority, adopt the citation form recommended by your professor, rather than other forms reflected in some of the opinions.
