Sarah wanted to buy new patio furniture and listed her old set on a popular online site for sale. Her listing included a photo, her address and cell phone number, and a description that said "Good condition patio chairs with table. First $400 takes them." Bob sent a text message to Sarah that said, "Interested in patio set. Will you take $200?" Sarah texted back, "No. But I'll take $300." Just then, Sarah received a text message from Carl that said, "I'll give you $350 for the patio furniture." Sarah immediately sent Carl a text that said, "Deal!" Sarah then began to type a text to Bob, stating: "Sorry, I've sold the patio set to someone else." But before Sarah could send the message, Bob called her. When Sarah answered her phone, Bob said, "Hi, this is Bob. I'll pay the $300 you asked for the patio furniture. I have your address and I'm on the way to pick them now." Sarah quickly hung up the phone without saying anything at all to Bob. Bob then texted Sarah a message that said, "Sorry, must be bad connection. On my way for patio set for $300." While Sarah wondered what to do, she received a text from Dan that said, "I'll take your patio furniture set. Am I the first with $400?" Ten minutes later, Bob, Carl, and Dan each arrived at Sarah's house. Is Sarah obligated to sell the patio furniture to any of them?
Criminal law
Ed and Frank had been planning to steal Victor's new sports car for weeks. Ed had been watching Victor's house and knew that Victor always parked the car in the detached garage, then entered his house through the back door and hung the keys on a hook near the door. Ed also knew that Victor typically went upstairs each night at around 10:00, because all the lights went out at that time. Frank was a "locksmith" who was confident he could open any locked door within two minutes. Frank had been released from prison just a couple of months ago, having served a two-year sentence for burglary and armed robbery. Ed knew of Frank's prior conviction and had insisted they would not need any guns just to steal a car. Frank had agreed, saying he had learned his lesson about bringing guns on a crime. Last Wednesday night, about an hour after the lights had all been turned off at Victor's house, Ed and Frank sneaked up to the back door. W hile Frank shone a small flashlight at the lock, Ed grabbed the door knob to hold it steady. However, the door was not locked, so the knob easily turned and the door opened. Ed stepped inside and reached toward the hook where the car keys were hung. Just then, the kitchen light snapped on. There stood Wanda, Victor's wife, who had come downstairs to the kitchen for a snack. Wanda opened her mouth to scream, but closed it without a sound when she sawFrank pointing a gun at her. Frank whispered at Wanda to come outside without making a sound. Wanda was terrified, and stepped outside as she had been told. Ed shook his head at Frank when he saw the gun, but grabbed the keys from the hook, and followed Wanda outside.
Frank took the keys from Ed, opened the car trunk, and ordered Wanda inside. Then he tossed the keys back to Ed, the two of them got in the car, and Ed drove away. Meanwhile, Victor awakened, noticed Wanda missing, went into the kitchen to look for her, and noticed the door open and his keys gone. He ran outside, saw his car missing, and called the police. Police officers Oscar and Paul were on patrol together nearby, and saw a car matching Victor's description speed by. Oscar, who was driving the police car, turned on the lights and siren, and pursued Victor's car. Frank leaned out of the window, fired a couple of shots at the police car, and yelled at Ed to keep driving.
Officer Paul shot back at the car, aiming toward the tire. Paul's shot missed the tire and instead went through the trunk, killing Wanda. Ed lost control of Victor's car and crashed into a tree. The crash killed Frank instantly. Ed was apprehended. For what crimes should Ed be charged?
Torts Law
Traffic was heavy as Jane was driving to work one morning last month. When her cell phone rang, Jane reached into her purse to grab the phone, never taking her eyes off the road. By the time she located the phone, it had stopped ringing. As Jane glanced at the screen to see who had called, her car veered slightly over the line into the lane to her right. Ken was also driving to work and happened to be in the lane next to Jane when her car began to veer into his lane. Ken slammed on his brakes, and narrowly avoided running into Jane. Unbeknownst to Ken, one of his brake lights was not working.
Larry was driving his children to school, and Larry's car was behind Ken's at the moment Ken slammed on his brakes. Larry had just turned his head to scold one of his children who had forgotten her homework, and when
 Larry looked back to the road, he was unable to stop in time to avoid a collision with Ken.
Although no one was hurt, there was damage to the back of Ken's car and the front of Larry's. They both pulled over to the side of the road and Jane, who was unaware of the collision, continued her drive to work.
As Larry took out his driver's license and insurance card, he stepped out of his car, and yelled at Ken, "You're terrible driver! Look at my poor car!" Ken jumped out of his car and shouted, "What do you mean? You ran into
me! You're the terrible driver!" Ken grabbed Larry's driver's license out of Larry's hand and ripped it in half, and said, "There! That might keep you off the road!" Larry then shoved Ken, who fell back against his car, twisting his ankle. Larry and Ken have each filed law suits against each other, both alleging negligence, assault and battery. Discuss.

Criminal Law Contracts
1st Scenario
Issue
Whether Sarah has to sell her patio furniture to any of the potential buyers
Rule
A legally enforceable agreement between two or more parties is a contract. An offer, acceptance, consideration, and a convergence of interests are necessary conditions for forming a contract. In contrast to acceptance, which is the agreement to the terms of the offer, an offer is a commitment to do or not do something. The term "consideration" describes the exchange of anything of value between the parties. The mutual comprehension of the contract's provisions constitutes a meeting of the minds.
Application
The question, in this instance, is whether Sarah has any obligations. In this case, Sarah extended an invitation to treat by offering to sell her patio furniture for $400. Sarah's initial offer was declined when Bob texted asking whether she would accept $200 as a counteroffer. Sarah's rejoinder "No. However, I'll accept $300." The counteroffer ended Bob's offer. A legal agreement was created when Carl texted Sarah to accept her $350 offer. But, because Bob had already acted on the initial offer by phoning Sarah and accepting the $300 counteroffer, Sarah's effort to decline Bob's offer by starting to send a text message was ineffective. The conversation did not end when Sarah did not answer Bob's call.
Dan's text message offering to pay $400 was not a legally binding agreement because Sarah had already agreed to Carl's offer. Sarah is therefore required to sell Carl the patio furniture for $350.
Conclusion
Based on the application of the rules of contract law, Sarah is required to sell Carl the patio furniture for $350 because they have a legal agreement in place. Because Bob had already taken action on the initial offer by calling Sarah, Sarah's attempt to reject the $300 counteroffer was ineffective. Bob successfully accepted the offer. Dan's text message offering to pay $400 did not create a legally binding agreement because Sarah had already agreed to Carl's offer.
