As discussed during our exercise in class, your assignment will be to draft a contract. I have posted a sample “Tim Horton’s “contract that you may use as a template. Here are the rules for the assignment.
1. The topic of the contract has to be an everyday transaction for which you would not normally write a contract.
2. As for good subjects, HIRING A PERSONAL TRAINER
3. I am looking for something between 2 to 3 pages long. No longer. Typed.
4. You are free to copy from the contract template I have provided in terms of the format of the contract. In other words, you can put the parties names at the top like I did, you can use the “recitals” (which are the A., B., and C at the beginning of the coffee contract I gave you). You can use the headings and the final paragraph at the end of the contract where people would sign.
5. I am not looking for fancy legal language and I am more interested in the quality of your analysis in terms of the rights and obligations being exchanged between the parties.
6. Not every term in the coffee contract will be relevant to your contract. You will have to write what you think is relevant to what your contract.
7. IT SHOULD BE IN SIMPLE ENGLISH WORDS.
