Notes - Clark v. West

Kessler, Gilmore & Kronman,
Lawrence Lessig

NOTE

How do you think the case should be decided if it were to appear that West had never known about Clark's drinking and had never waived the condition of total abstinence but that the treatise on Corporations had been an immense success, with West receiving profits on the sales far in excess of what would be required to entitle Clark to his $6 a page? On the same assumptions, what result in Clark v. West under the doctrine of such cases as Smith v. Brady?
