Question
You'll read about "Adhesion Contracts" which are a type of contracts that are challenged more often than other types of contracts, due to potentially unconscionability. Whether you realize it or not, you've all entered into an adhesion contract at some point, and most of you have probably entered into many of them. Think back to some of the adhesion contracts you've agreed to, and discuss one or more of those contracts that you think might have been unconscionable, and whether you think you would have been able to get out of them if you had tried. In other words, your answer should:
1. Name/explain the contract you have in mind.
2. Explain whether you think the contract was substantively unconscionable and why or why not.
3. Explain whether you think the contract was procedurally unconscionable, and why or why not. Remember
4. Then explain whether the contract was actually unconscionable and voidable due to your answers to Questions 2 and 3 above.
PLEASE ANSWER EACH QUESTION AT LEAST 3-4 SENTENCES.
