Contingent-Fee Arrangement Versus "Loser Pays"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The American public cannot watch late-night television without being overwhelmed with a barrage of legal counsel commercials advertising their contingent-fee agreement; for a large chunk of the plaintiff's settlement - anywhere from twenty-five to fifty percent - the company will represent that individual for no upfront costs. While logic says an attorney would never take a case on contingency unless he or she knew the odds were very much in the plaintiff's favor to emerge with a victorious ruling, this is not always foolproof for the legal counsel when they realize - after investing considerable time and money out of their own pockets - that the case is far from solid. By contrast, a system whereby the loser covers all costs from both sides can either benefit or damage the defendant if the plaintiff has a better attorney and earns the decision in a case whereby the defendant was not guilty of any wrongdoing. Indeed, the prevalence of people being ruled against simply because the opposing side was more effective with identifying loopholes in the system illustrates how there are still some aspects of law that fails to serve and protect the innocent.

Contract Law, the “Battle of the Forms,” European Law, and the Value of a Uniform Code
[ send me this paper ]
This 28 page report discusses the complications of contract law, especially in terms of international transactions. In the highly-competitive and globalized world of the 21st century, the alliances that exist between individuals, corporations, and even nations carry an enormous amount of consequence. Far too often, contract law has been modified to facilitate the use of standard form contracts to assure that the organization is held blameless in regard to actions undertaken by an individual or to serve the interests of one nation over those of another. Because of the switch from an industrial age economy to an information economy, the necessity for coherent, meaningful, and predictable legal rules for contracts that serve as the framework for the new economy has grown dramatically. The UCC of the United States is discussed along with United Nations’ Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or CISG, the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, and the Principles of European Contract Law. Each demonstrates a significant variance in content, nature and scope, but must be considered in terms of the modern and irreversible phenomenon of globalization. Bibliography lists 17 sources.

Contract Law.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Even though we have been buying and selling in one way or another throughout the history of the United States, commercial contract law as a formal entity is less than a hundred years old. Prior to that time individual states might determine what constituted a contract, but that might very from state to state. However as states began dealing with each other in a contractual manner, or as business cross state lines more and more, some sort of uniform body of law was needed concerning commerce. This was done in the forties and labeled the uniform commercial code (Dehrer-Wendt ppg). Let's see if there are any differences in individual contract law. What themes might apply?
