A case of first impression comes before a state court in Illinois. While the issue has not been heard in Illinois courts, appellate courts in the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Indiana have definitively ruled on the issue, although the outcomes of the various cases were slightly different in each case. Further, the case heard by the Indiana court was definitively ruled upon by the U.S. Supreme Court. Explain whether the court in Illinois is bound by the decision of any of the other courts, and why.

Read the case of Roberts v. Century Contractors, Inc. in our textbook. If you cannot find the case in the textbook, simply do a Google search for it, and you will find a wealth of information on the case. After reading the case, why do you think the Court in that particular case considered the misdiagnosis a bilateral mistake rather than a unilateral mistake? Make sure you discuss the differences between bilateral and unilateral mistakes as well as the consequences each might have when it comes to a "meeting of the minds" in forming a legally binding business contract. The book discusses the doctrine of fraudulent misrepresentations and the impact they might have on a contractual relationship. Take a few minutes to digest what the book is referencing here. Again, please feel free to simply do Internet research on the concepts of "fraudulent misrepresentation in contracts," and you should find a wealth of information to complete this assignment. Do you agree with the principle that a person might be able to make a fraudulent misrepresentation without saying a single word? Discuss at least one area of contract/business law where such a concept is commonly applied and whether you agree or disagree with it.
Joe wants to sue directly in his state's Supreme Court (a state in which the Supreme Court is the highest court), since his suit involves a question of genetic testing that has never been heard by a trial court of general jurisdiction in Joe's state. Can Joe sue directly in his state's Supreme Court? Explain.
