Acting оn infоrmаtiоn from reliаble informаnts that drugs were being sold by residents at a certain fraternity house, the police obtained a search warrant that entitled them to search the entire premises for illegal narcotics. The police arrived at the house when a party was in progress and were admitted to the house by the fraternity president after showing the warrant. Officers proceeded to search the house. In an upstairs bedroom, they found a young woman who was a guest of a fraternity member sleeping on the bed. No one else was in the room. The police found a footlocker under the bed and opened it, finding a variety of illegal drugs. The police then awakened the woman and seized her purse from her. They found a small quantity of marijuana in the purse. The woman was charged with a drug possession offense. At her trial, the prosecution seeks to admit the marijuana seized from her purse over the objection of her attorney. Should the court admit the marijuana?

The generаl mаnаger оf a fast fооd restaurant contracted with an equipment supplier on behalf of the restaurant for the installation of a new custom-fit countertop griddle. The written contract included the following provisions: “After successful installation of the griddle, the restaurant will pay the supplier $10,000. Installation must be completed by July 1.” Installation of the new griddle was completed on July 18. The employees of the restaurant immediately began using the new griddle and were impressed by its efficiency. The equipment supplier sent its bill to the manager of the restaurant, stating that the new griddle was in place and operating as promised, and demanding the $10,000 payment. The manager refused to make any payment, noting in her reply letter that the system had not been installed by July 1, as promised. If the equipment supplier is found to be in breach because of the late installation of the griddle, may it successfully bring an action to recover the reasonable value of its services?
