Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, as part of our "Listen and Learn" series, we're looking at the conditions that have to be satisfied in order to form a valid contract. We'll review the concepts and illustrate them with two essay questions from previous bar exams.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Determining the applicable law governing a contract
  • The conditions that have to be satisfied for a valid contract
  • Recognizing when there is a counter-offer
  • Applying the mailbox rule to determine the time at which an offer is accepted
  • Analyzing two hypos from previous California bar exams involving contract formation
