Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're discussing a couple of topics that go hand in hand in Corporations essays - the duty of care and the business judgment rule.

In this episode, we discuss:

• A review of the duty of care
• What is the business judgment rule?
• How the business judgment rule can be rebutted
• Analyzing two hypos from previous California bar exams
