Legal Research assignment( 3-4 pagaes)<\/p>\n

Drafting Assignment \u2013 Memorandum of Law
DRAFTING PROJECT<\/p>\n

In this assignment, you will have to conduct some legal research and draft an answer as though you were presenting information to an attorney for whom you work. Please
make certain you read the instructions carefully, and complete all aspects of the project in order to receive full credit.
Our client, Jacob Brown, is mad at his ex-girlfriend, Bella Goose and her boyfriend, the Vampire Edmund Callen. Jacob was madly in love with Bella, but she dumped him
and broke his heart. He doesn\u2019t want to fight Edmund since Edmund is a Vampire and could drain his blood, so he would like to sue Bella in court for breaking his
heart. He does some internet research and finds that some states have a cause of action called heart-balm. He also believes that the promise ring he gave Bella
constituted a binding contract to \u201cstay together forever\u201d and he wants to sue her for its return under a breach of contract cause of action.<\/p>\n

Assignment:<\/p>\n

Please prepare a 3 to 4 page memorandum of law discussing whether or not Jacob can successfully sue Bella for heart-balm and breach of contract.<\/p>\n

Make sure you analyze this issue from both perspectives.<\/p>\n

To receive full credit, you must use at least 5 relevant state cases or statutes. Select any state of your choice and use that state\u2019s law only. Remember to follow
