Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we have another episode in our "Listen and Learn" series, where we review a substantive area of the law and apply that law to fact patterns. This time we're looking at piercing the corporate veil, which is a commonly-tested issue in Corporations and LLC essays.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What exactly is the corporate veil?
• The four situations in which a court will pierce the corporate veil and hold the shareholders personally liable
• What does it mean for a corporation to act as its shareholders' alter ego?
• Analyzing a hypo from the February 2017 California bar exam
• Other issues that are often tested together with piercing the corporate veil
• The difference between piercing corporate and LLC veils
