Q1. A plaintiff, a citizen of Florida, files a lawsuit in federal court against two defendants. Defendant A is a citizen of Georgia. Defendant B is a citizen of Florida. The amount in controversy is $100,000. Does the court have subject matter jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship?

A. Yes, because the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000.
B. Yes, because there is diversity between the plaintiff and Defendant A.
C. No, because complete diversity of citizenship is lacking.
D. No, because the case does not involve a federal question.

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: C. No, because complete diversity of citizenship is lacking.

For diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332, there must be complete diversity. This means no plaintiff can be a citizen of the same state as any defendant. Here, the plaintiff and Defendant B are both citizens of Florida.

Q2. A group of citizens files a lawsuit in federal court seeking to enjoin a presidential appointment of an ambassador, claiming the appointee is unqualified and that the appointment harms the nation's prestige. The government moves to dismiss the lawsuit. How should the court rule on the motion?

A. Deny the motion, because the citizens have a right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
B. Grant the motion, because the citizens lack standing as their alleged injury is a generalized grievance.
C. Deny the motion, because the case presents a federal question under the Appointments Clause.
D. Grant the motion, because ambassadorial appointments are non-justiciable political questions.

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. Grant the motion, because the citizens lack standing as their alleged injury is a generalized grievance.

To have standing, a plaintiff must show a concrete and particularized injury. A generalized grievance shared by all citizens, such as harm to the nation's prestige, is insufficient to confer standing.

Q3. A landlord and a tenant sign a fully integrated written lease for an apartment. The lease states the rent is $2,000 per month and makes no mention of utilities. The tenant later claims that during the negotiations, the landlord orally promised to pay for the electricity. If the landlord sues the tenant for unpaid electricity bills, is evidence of the landlord's alleged oral promise admissible?

A. Yes, because the promise induced the tenant to sign the lease.
B. Yes, because the written lease is silent on the issue of utilities.
C. No, because the parol evidence rule bars evidence of a prior oral agreement when the written contract is fully integrated.
D. No, because promises to pay the debt of another must be in writing.

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: C. No, because the parol evidence rule bars evidence of a prior oral agreement when the written contract is fully integrated.

The parol evidence rule prevents the introduction of evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements that contradict the terms of a fully integrated written contract. The 'merger clause' (fully integrated) indicates the writing is the final expression of the deal.
