As a clarification, the paper should have about 2 to 3 pages of your written arguments. Citation page would be in addition if it is needed. You should be able to focus on the important points and present them in this length. Your paper should demonstrate an understanding of the contested issues and what is standard in the industry including:
- GC’s key arguments. Which do you think resonate
- Sub’s arguments
- How would you rule if you were the Court Justice
- Now think about you as a contractor, does your ruling put your company at risk. The law is not meant as a trap but often people are surprised but ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Contract Language
One of the primary tenets of communication lies in the fact that a message ought to be received as encoded by the sender for the communication process to be termed as effective. If the message recipient misunderstands the message, then there would be a breakdown in communication since the message recipient would respond contrary to the expectations of the sender. In contractual agreements, meeting of the minds only happens where the different parties involved in the contracts have a clear understanding of the implications of phrases within the contract. The 2013 case before the Ohio Supreme Court, A.E.M. Electric Services Corporation v. Transtar Electric, sought to address ambiguity in a clause on the contractual agreement between the general contractor, A.E.M. Electric Services Corporation, and the subcontractor, Transtar Electric.
