A contract is a promise, or set of promises, for breach of which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law in some way recognizes as a duty. Contracts law involves assisting individuals and businesses in the negotiation and execution of all types of legally enforceable agreements -- including contracts for the sale of property, employment agreements, and promissory notes -- and also to represent clients in legal disputes and litigation to enforce contracts.
Jean is a small commercial town in Clark County, Nevada, located approximately 12 mi north of the Nevada-California state line along Interstate 15. Las Vegas is located about 30 mi (48 km) to the north. There are no residents of Jean, Nevada, but many people in nearby communities like Primm and Sandy Valley have "Jean" listed as the city in their mailing address because Jean is the location of the main post office in the 89019 ZIP code. Las Vegas Boulevard South ends about a mile south of Jean, and contiguously runs northbound past Las Vegas, ending near the I-15-US 93 Junction. The area is mostly commercial with the exception of the post office and the courthouse, with commercial outlets such as the Gold Strike Hotel and Gambling Hall, the Jean Sport Aviation Center (used for sport activities like skydiving), Jean Conservation Camp (a minimum-security, all female Nevada Department of Corrections Facility established in 1987) and a Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) substation. The Nevada Landing Hotel and Casino was also located here but has since been demolished in April 2008 with the exception of its sign. The Jean Post Office is located on Las Vegas Boulevard in Jean. The Goodsprings Township Courthouse is also located in Jean.
