Please read the Lucy v. Zehmer case, which begins in section 9.4 of the text. After reading the case, please respond to the following questions (again, using complete legal analysis).
a. What objective evidence was there to support the defendant's contention that they were just kidding when they agreed to sell the farm? (5 pts.)
b. Suppose the defendants really did think the whole thing was a kind of joke. Would that make any difference? (5 pts.)
c. As a matter of public policy, why does the law use an objective standard to determine the seriousness of intention, instead of a subjective standard?
