Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: agreement

This message should have been rejected. It sounds like someone is looking for help with a homework assignment without doing their own research.

Re: agreement

Student gets homework assignment. Student is lazy and doesn't want to bother actually studying or learning how to answer question himself. Instead, Student finds website where users post questions about real-world legal problems and where attorneys take time out of their busy schedules to respond in the belief that they are helping people who need legal guidance. Student posts his question hoping to get answer from lawyers who actually knows what Student is supposed to be learning.

Is Student cheating in his class? Is he taking advantage of attorneys? Is there anything even remotely ethical about what Student is doing? Later in life when Student is in real world and client needs his expertise, will Student have any idea what to do? Will he then set about learning what he is already supposed to know, or will he again try to bluff his way through the situation regardless of what happens to client as a result?
