First Question:-
Legality
While reading, pay close attention to the various ways in which an agreement may not be legal, including instances of usury, gambling, violation of Sabbath laws, agreements made to commit a crime or tort, and agreements made by a party without proper licensure.
CONCEPT REVIEW:
To be enforceable, contracts must have legal subject matter and must be able to be performed legally. They cannot violate either state or federal law. A contract overturned for illegal subject matter or for being illegal to perform is generally declared void. A contract need not be in violation of a statute to be illegal; agreements against generally accepted public policy are also illegal and unenforceable.
Read the hypothetical below and answer the accompanying questions.
Eugene’s dream is to open his own restaurant. The only problem is he does not have the financial backing for this endeavor. He repeatedly tries to get a loan from a bank or other commercial lender, but he’s denied each time. Desperate for the funds, Eugene gets the contact information for a loan shark and decides to enter into a private loan agreement. The only catch is that Eugene will have to pay an interest rate of 20%, which is double the maximum allowed interest rate in his state. Although Eugene has some reservations about entering into the agreement, he accepts anyway.
2. What would happen if this agreement actually occurred? In other words, how do states treat this type of illegal agreements once they are formed?
Second Question:-
A group of attorneys, judges and law professionals have collaborated to write a uniform criminal code. The code would create uniformity in criminal law across the United States, defining what constitutes a misdemeanor, what constitutes a felony, how crimes are defined, and what the punishment for particular crimes will be. The code also proposes that the death penalty be abolished, and that the maximum punishment for murder be life imprisonment.
Would you favor the adoption and implementation of such a code? Please fully explain why or why not. What advantages would result from a uniform criminal code? What disadvantages would result? What is the likelihood that all states would favor its adoption and implementation, as opposed to the traditional practice of each state defining criminal law within its own jurisdiction?
You can find a copy of a proposed model penal code at http://www.law.upenn.edu/fac/phrobins/intromodpencode.pdf. You do NOT need to read this code to answer the questions above.
