Jacobs v. Alvarez: Case File 1st Edition Taylor Rex Robertson ISBN 9798886690859

Case Closed: A Civil Litigation Trial Simulation

Unexpected success at an international blind wine tasting competition brought together two unlikely friends, Jacobs and Alvarez, leading to a decade-long wine importation and distribution partnership. Over time, however, their interests diverged, and they mutually agreed to wind up the business.

Trouble began with the partnership’s rare wine collection. Alvarez was tasked with arranging an auction “in the best interests of the partnership,” as specified in two separate agreements. Alvarez opted for a private auction held within a week, which generated less than half of what Jacobs believed the collection was worth. Believing this decision was not in the partnership’s best interests, Jacobs is now suing Alvarez to recover damages allegedly caused by the private sale.

This engaging case file is ideal for civil and business litigation practice. With a rich assortment of exhibits and detailed witness statements, it is perfect for a two- or three-day trial advocacy course.

Professors and students will benefit from:

  • A case file crafted by a seasoned mock trial designer with over a decade of experience.

  • Deliberate evidentiary challenges in both testimony and documents that reflect common issues under the Rules of Evidence.

  • Unique witness backgrounds and testimony to create dynamic direct and cross-examinations.

  • Realistic exhibits, including contracts, emails, invoices, public filings, business records, and online media.

  • A fictional but realistic legal standard, providing all students—regardless of prior experience—a foundation for developing strong trial advocacy skills.
