PART A
In the fall, Taylor, a third-year law student at State University in Bendigo, interviewed with several law firms for an associate position. Among those firms were Smith & Smith (Smith), located in Melbourne, and Jones and Jones (Jones), located in Ballarat.
At the conclusion of her interview with Smith, the Smith recruiter told Taylor, “You have a position with us next fall provided you successfully complete your law program.”
Taylor received only one other job offer; it was from the Jones firm in Ballarat.
Taylor considered the offers and then wrote to Smith accepting Smiths offer. Taylor rejected Joness offer. Taylor would have accepted a position with Jones if Smith had not made an offer.
In November, two weeks before taking her final exams, Taylor moved to Melbourne. Smith sent Taylor a stipend which covered some, but not all, of her moving and living expenses.
Two days before she took her final exams, a Smith partner called Taylor, stating, “We have reassessed our hiring needs, and we are withdrawing our previous offer.”
Taylor took and passed her final exams, and successfully completed her law program.
