Your friend Brandon is messaging you and needs some help dealing with issues at his law firm. Using your understanding of the types and hierarchy of laws and the Materials above, help Brandon figure out what to do! Friends, I'm in real trouble. Brandon What's up? Cherrial For the past year, I've been working on the transactional side of our firm dealing with things like contracts, business formation, and property sales. I love it because my clients tend to be happy and hopeful. Brandon However, my supervising partner now wants me to work with the litigation department. Oh wow. Litigation involves so many more rules than transactional work--that's because with transactional work you kinda have to create your own private law via contracts. Litigation is a different ball game. Cherrial Right! I'm not looking forward to it. I don't even know how to advise my supervising partner about what court we should file our lawsuit in. Brandon Well, first tell us what the dispute is about. Cherrial My supervising partner made a mistake on a lease he drafted a few years ago. Brandon The lease involves a number of options--meaning rights to renew the lease. In this case our client, the tenant, should have a few three year options to renew. Brandon So that means they have the right to continue leasing the space at a pre-determined rate for three years and they have three of those options. Cherrial Right. You can see the clause in the contract. Here, I'll send it to you guys. Brandon Get it? Brandon Yeah. And I see the clause. Oh boy--it says that your client needs landlord approval in order to renew! Cherrial Yeah! That's the problem. My supervising partner didn't mean that to be in there, because now the landlord is refusing to approve the option. So now we need to sue to make sure we get the options. Brandon Okay, so you're not sure what court to file in? Cherrial Yeah Brandon Well, you need to make sure you start your lawsuit in a court of primary jurisdiction Subject matter jurisdiction original jurisdiction appellate jurisdiction 1. Lease Term. A.
