Welcome to the BarPass™ Podcast — the 10-minute bar prep podcast by BarPass.io.

In this episode, we’re covering Equal Protection. Over the next few minutes, we’ll walk through:

• when the Equal Protection Clause is triggered,
• how to identify government classifications,
• the three levels of judicial scrutiny,
• the major classifications, including race, national origin, alienage, gender, non-marital children, and fundamental rights.

This topic is highly tested because many constitutional challenges begin with the same question: Is the government treating similarly situated people differently, and if so, what level of scrutiny applies?

As you listen, focus on the framework, the classifications, and the trigger phrases that tell you whether to apply rational basis review, intermediate scrutiny, or strict scrutiny.

Let’s get started.

Welcome back to BarPass™, the podcast that helps you prepare for the bar exam in just 10 minutes at a time.

In today’s episode, we’re covering one of the Civil Procedure doctrines: Preclusion. This doctrine determines when a prior judgment prevents parties from relitigating claims or issues in a later lawsuit.

We’ll break preclusion into its two major components：

- Claim preclusion, also known as res judicata, which means that once a claim has been litigated and resolved with a final judgment on the merits, the same parties cannot bring the same claim again.

- Issue preclusion, or collateral estoppel, which prevents a party from relitigating a specific issue that was already actually litigated and essential to a prior judgment.

By the end of this episode, you’ll clearly understand when a prior judgment blocks a second lawsuit.

Let’s get started.
