071: Tackling an MEE Contracts Essay Question


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we are walking through a UBE Contracts essay question from the July 2018 bar exam. This is part of our series of podcasts on how to approach Multistate Essay Examination questions.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to easily determine you are working with a Contracts question
  • Does the scope of the question fall into the UCC world or the common law world?
  • A review of Article 2 of the UCC and the common law of contracts
  • Reading the Contracts question from the July 2018 bar exam
  • Is a verbal promise to keep an offer to sell goods open binding when the offer is made by a non-merchant?
  • Tip: Glance at the questions at the end before you start reading the facts in the hypothetical
