NALA eligibility

The NALA ACP Contract Management specialty is a self-paced, web-based course (about 20 hours) for current NALA Certified Paralegals that ends in an open-book online final assessment; NALA does not publish a fixed question count, and the passing standard is set per course, commonly around 70 percent. The fee is $250 for members and $300 for non-members. Content covers contract formation (offer, acceptance, consideration), common law versus UCC Article 2 (firm offers under 2-205, the 2-201 $500 writing rule, 2-207 battle of the forms, perfect tender, and warranties), drafting and key clauses (indemnification, warranty disclaimers under 2-316, limitation of liability, force majeure, integration), the contract lifecycle and e-signatures under ESIGN and UETA, performance, conditions and breach, and the remedies and damages framework.

1A homeowner emails a contractor: 'I will pay you $5,000 to repaint my house this month.' The contractor replies, 'Sounds good, I'll do it.' Under the common law of contracts, what term describes the homeowner's email?
A.An offer
B.An invitation to deal
C.A counteroffer
D.A conditional acceptance
Explanation: An offer is a manifestation of present willingness to enter a bargain, made so as to justify another person in understanding that assent will conclude it. The homeowner's email states a definite price, subject, and time, and invites the contractor's acceptance, so it is an offer.
2Which of the following best describes the legal requirement of 'consideration' in contract formation?
A.A signed and notarized writing
B.A bargained-for exchange of legal value between the parties
C.The motive or reason a party enters the contract
D.A promise to act in good faith
Explanation: Consideration is a bargained-for exchange in which each party gives up something of legal value (a benefit or detriment). Both a return promise and a performance can serve as consideration, and it is what distinguishes an enforceable contract from a gratuitous promise.
3Under the common law 'mirror image rule,' a purported acceptance that adds or changes a material term of the offer operates as what?
A.A valid acceptance with the new term as a proposal
B.An enforceable modification
C.A rejection and counteroffer
D.A binding option contract
Explanation: Under the common law mirror image rule, an acceptance must match the offer exactly. A response that adds or varies a material term does not accept; it rejects the original offer and operates as a counteroffer, which the original offeror may then accept or reject.
4An uncle promises his niece $10,000 'because you are a wonderful person,' with nothing requested or given in return. Is this promise enforceable as a contract?
A.Yes, because the promise was in writing
B.Yes, because the uncle intended to be bound
C.No, because gifts are illegal
D.No, because the promise lacks consideration
Explanation: A gratuitous promise is unenforceable because it lacks consideration; the niece neither promised nor gave anything of legal value in a bargained-for exchange. Love and affection or past acts are not consideration for a present promise.
5A company promises an employee a $20,000 bonus for work the employee already completed last year. Under the 'pre-existing duty' and 'past consideration' rules, is the bonus promise supported by consideration?
A.No, because past consideration is not valid consideration
B.Yes, because the employee was loyal
C.Yes, because the work had real value
D.No, because bonuses must be in the original contract
Explanation: Consideration must be bargained for at the time of the promise. Work already performed is 'past consideration,' which does not support a new promise because it was not given in exchange for that promise. The employee was already obligated or had already acted.
6Under the doctrine of promissory estoppel, a promise may be enforced even without consideration when which combination of elements is present?
A.A signed writing and notarization
B.A promise, reasonable and foreseeable reliance, actual detrimental reliance, and injustice avoidable only by enforcement
C.Mutual mistake and rescission
D.An offer, acceptance, and a peppercorn of value
Explanation: Promissory estoppel (Restatement (Second) of Contracts 90) enforces a promise where the promisor should reasonably expect it to induce action or forbearance, the promisee actually relies to its detriment, and injustice can be avoided only by enforcement. It substitutes for consideration.
7A seller makes a written offer to sell a parcel of land and states, 'This offer is irrevocable for 30 days.' No money or other consideration is paid for that promise, and the transaction is governed by the common law. May the seller revoke before 30 days expire?
A.No, the writing makes it irrevocable
B.No, because land contracts are always firm
C.Yes, because the offer can be revoked absent consideration for an option
D.Yes, but only with the buyer's consent
Explanation: At common law, an offer is freely revocable before acceptance unless it is supported as an option contract by separate consideration. A bare promise to keep a real-property offer open, without consideration, does not bind the offeror, so the seller may revoke.
8Which of the following parties generally LACKS full capacity to contract, allowing them to disaffirm most contracts?
A.A sole proprietor
B.A corporation in good standing
C.A licensed attorney
D.A minor under the age of majority
Explanation: A minor (a person under the age of majority, usually 18) lacks full contractual capacity and may generally disaffirm contracts before, or within a reasonable time after, reaching majority, subject to exceptions like contracts for necessaries.
9A contract requires a party to perform an act that is illegal under state law. What is the status of the contract?
A.Void as against public policy and unenforceable
B.Valid but unenforceable until cured
C.Voidable at the option of either party
D.Enforceable if both parties knew of the illegality
Explanation: A contract whose subject matter or performance is illegal is void as against public policy; courts will not enforce it and generally leave the parties where they find them. Legality of purpose is an essential element of an enforceable contract.
10Under the 'mailbox rule' at common law, when is an acceptance sent by an authorized means generally effective?
A.When the offeror actually reads it
B.When it is dispatched (placed in the mail)
C.When it is received by the offeror
D.Only after the offeror acknowledges it
Explanation: The mailbox rule provides that an acceptance is effective upon dispatch when sent by a reasonable or authorized means, even before the offeror receives it. This contrasts with revocations and rejections, which are effective only upon receipt.
