Dustin S. Kolodziej v. James Cheney Mason

Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided December 18, 2014No. 14-10644PublishedCited by 30 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

WILSON, Circuit Judge:

This case involves a law student’s efforts to form a contract by accepting a “million-dollar challenge” that a lawyer extended on national television while representing a client accused of murder. Since we find that the challenge did not give rise to an enforceable unilateral contract, we hold that the district court properly entered summary judgment for the lawyer and his law firm, Defendants-Appellees James Cheney Mason (Mason) and J. Cheney Mason, P.A., with regard to the breach-of-contract claim brought by the law student, Plaintiff-Appellant Dustin S. Kolodziej.
