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.
Tieton is a town in Yakima County, Washington, United States. The population was 1,154 at the 2000 census. In recent years, Tieton has suffered economic depression, with the decline of its fruit warehouses. As of 2007, Seattle lawyer Michael Longyear and Ed Marquand, founding president of the art publishing house Marquand Books have been investing in the town and attempting to revive it, with a project they call project "Mighty Tieton."
