not sure if this is even someone you want to pursue (for real relationship-y things like emotional support, etc) based on the way that this was handled....

Hey guys, I'm curious, how long are good responses for negligence hypos (only duty and breach) supposed to be? I wrote around 3 pages double spaced for battery, but it seems like it's shorter for duty and breach when I look at model answers.

I'm the opposite with contracts (my first final). We don't need to know any specific BLL or any cases. Professor basically said today that more analysis will get us more points than deep analysis (obviously the issues need to be analyzed but I don't think he wants us to ramble on and on about any issue in particular; rather he wants us to hit as many issues as possible). Really my only concern is that I'm not an extremely fast typer, so I may fall behind a few people, but otherwise I feel really good about my issue spotting abilities, so hopefully it'll go well...

does any1 have any torts or contracts exams with model answers. there's a big difference between e&e, and doing the whole course in 1 fact pattern. our profs don't give us model answers.

How does this look in response to a really basic Personal Jurisdiction brief hypo??

"F buys a car from Little Rock Cars-R-Us, telling the salesman, S, that he needs the car to get back home to Florida. S sells him a very used car. After crossing the border into Florida, F adjusts his seat back and the engine ejects into Wakullah Springs. F sues Little Rock Cars-R-Us in Florida. Does the court have personal jurisdiction over Little Rock Cars-R Us?"

The first step in a personal jurisdiction analysis is to determine whether or not there is a proper state long-arm statute that allows the defendant to be subject to jurisdiction. If there is a proper long arm statute, then the statutory inquiry is met and we move onto the Due Process test and if not, then there is no personal jurisdiction.

Assuming a proper long arm statute exists, the next step is to look at the Constitutional Due Process test. There is no indication of the traditional basis in Pennoyer being met, so we then turn to the minimum contacts test set forth in International Shoe. In determining if there was a contact, we must determine whether or not Little Rock Cars R Us purposefully availed themselves of the forum state (FL) and whether or not a lawsuit being brought in the Florida was foreseeable. Here, there is no indication that Little Rock Cars R Us deliberately reached out to and targeted Florida residents to buy cars from them through methods such as advertising. With respect to foreseeability, Little Rock Cars R Us likely reasonably foresaw itself being brought in a lawsuit in the state of Florida. This is because F explicitly told the salesman that he needed to get back to his home in Florida and that the specific use of the car was to bring it back home to Florida.

Because Little Rock Cars R Us did not purposefully avail themselves of the forum state, it likely did not establish minimum contacts and therefore Florida does not have personal jurisdiction over them


Since this is a pretty obvious hypo, I don't continue onto type of jurisdiction (general or specific) and Fairness, correct? but if it were grey whether or not it counted as purposeful availment, I'd move onto those final 2 steps?
