Assignment
Each of us makes promises all of the time, and most promises we keep, but some we don't. The question this week focus on when a promise is - and is not - enforceable. Said differently, when will the law make a person keep a promise? Choose one of the scenarios below and explain whether or not you think that the promise made is enforceable. Make sure to think about the concepts of offer, acceptance, consideration, legality and capacity.

• Bill asks Sally to marry him, and her answer is "yes". Bill then sells his favorite sports car and pays upfront for a lavish wedding ceremony and a 3-week trip to Europe.
• Keith agrees to transport ceramic figurines from Los Angeles to New York City in his moving truck. What he doesn't know is that each figurine is filled packets of cocaine.
