Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, in an episode from our "Listen and Learn" series, we're discussing an important concept from Contract Law - consideration - which is one of the three requirements of contract formation.
In this episode we discuss:
- The three requirements of contract formation
- What is consideration?
- The two ways in which consideration can be provided
- The situations in which there is never valid consideration
- Examples from previous California bar exams
