Unenforceable

Read a random definition: declaratory theory

A quick definition of Unenforceable:

Term: Unenforceable

Definition: An unenforceable contract is a valid agreement that a court will not enforce. This means that if the parties involved follow the terms of the contract, the court will not interfere. However, if the contract contains provisions that are not beneficial to any party or pose a significant risk to one party, the court will not award damages for breach of contract.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An unenforceable contract is a valid agreement that cannot be enforced by a court. This means that if one party breaches the contract, the other party cannot seek damages or force the breaching party to perform their obligations. The court will not intervene because of reasons such as dubious benefit to any party, or extreme physical hazard to one party.

  • A contract between two parties where one party agrees to sell their kidney to the other party for $10,000 is unenforceable because it is illegal and against public policy.
  • A contract between an employer and employee that requires the employee to work more than 80 hours a week without overtime pay is unenforceable because it violates labor laws.

These examples illustrate the definition of an unenforceable contract because they both involve agreements that are not legally valid. In the first example, selling organs is illegal and against public policy, so the court will not enforce the contract. In the second example, the contract violates labor laws, so the court will not enforce it either.

@s95: My cousin is an immigration attorney who recently argued in front of the supreme court. He attended the University of Houston for law school. There are so many good schools for immigration law, countless clinics.

@s95: The higher the rank though basically means more opportunities possibly with a debt trade off. It's hard for me to say more without knowing your goals though. Awesome you already have an idea what you want to do as a lawyer!
[] ararara
17:06
I would research immigration law clinics
@s95: generally school specialties are kind of silly. it’s usually the rank of the school that determines the opportunities you can get from it across the board
with caveats for strong regional schools with a regional focus and so on
17:27
@s95 University of San Diego

USD actually does really well for immigration in the SoCal region, and is known to have a great clinic.
