Lawyers: legal opinion

[En Passant]

Looks good. I don't think there is necessarily a right or wrong answer. Professor probably just wants you to back your opinion with a good argument.

My opinion: Firstly, I think a contract is definitely in place. Harris is offering a 300 game, and Chevrolet is offering a car. The issue is whether the offer was made the day that Harris bowled his perfect game.

Based on the ad (Chevrolet Cavalier to anyone who bowled a perfect 300 game on the televised program that day), I think that it is perfectly reasonable for a person to assume "that day" means any day "Bowling For Dollars" was being taped. I also think it is unreasonable to think that it should be the television viewers responsibility to keep up to date on the commercials ads on the program each week to see if an offer existed for each week. Therefore, I think Harris should get the car.

The problem is "that day" is too vague. It's really hard to give a concrete answer without knowing more details of the situation described: how many times was the ad ran during the show; was it ran during the show, or on a commercial (I assumed commercial); what was the exact wording of the commercial; how many other people assumed the offer was good on the show where Harris bowled a 300
