Paralegal

Category - Judgement

Bart is paralegal working for the Law Office of Lisa Simpson. Ms. Simpson is handling a real estate case that involves a farmer who sold a forty-acre parcel from the northeast quarter of the farmer’s 160-acre farm. As Ms. Simpson is drafting a motion, she asks Bart to find cases with facts similar to the facts of this case. Which of the following cases is most analogous to the farmer’s case?
  1. A case in which a car dealership sold one-half of its inventory of new cars to a dealer in the southern part of the state.
  2. A case in which two persons owned real estate as tenants-in-common, and one person owned a one-quarter interest and the other person owned a three-quarters interest.
  3. A case in which a person obtained ownership of a quarter section of a 160-acre woodland after residing on the quarter section for 15 years.
  4. A case in which a woman paid a landowner for the right to build and maintain a road over the western-most portion of the landowner’s land.
Explanation
Answer: A - A case in which a car dealership sold one-half of its inventory of new cars to a dealer in the southern part of the state. The best way to answer this question is by process of elimination. Neither Answer B nor Answer C is analogous because neither case involves a sale of any property. Answer D is not as analogous as Answer A because Answer D, although it involves a purchase, does not involve the purchase of all interest in the western-most portion of the land (the woman purchased an easement). Answer A is the most analogous because, although it involves personal property, it also involves the purchase of all interest in one-half of the inventory-just as the sale of the forty-acre parcel was a complete transfer of all interest.
