066: Tackling an MEE Agency and Torts Essay Question


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we are walking through a UBE Agency and Torts essay question from the February 2015 bar exam. This is part of our series of podcasts on how to approach Multistate Essay Examination questions.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The test for determining whether a person is an employee or an independent contractor
  • What's the employer's liability for employees' tortious conduct?
  • The doctrine of negligence per se
  • Seeking indemnification for damages
  • Reading an Agency and Torts question found on the February 2015 bar exam
  • The importance of clearly articulating each issue, and then making an accurate statement of the applicable rule or rules
