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 to Purchase
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the situation in which Betsy Ross has purchased (and paid in full in cash) a painting for sale at an antique shop. She asked the shop owner to repair a small tear in the painting as she looked on; they both became aware of some paper folded into the item, hidden within the frame behind the painting. That paper appears to be a draft of the Declaration of Independence, written in Thomas Jefferson's own hand. The shop owner no longer wants to sell the item for the stated price and has offered to refund Ms. Ross' cash payment of $150. On her refusal, the shop owner refused to relinquish the painting and all items associated with it. The paper is a chronology of Ms. Ross' attorney's actions and rationale for them.
