Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're discussing the different methods a plaintiff may use to establish the second element of a negligence claim -- breach. We also talk about the "res ipsa loquitur" doctrine, and we will walk through several hypotheticals involving breach of the standard of care.

In this episode, we discuss:

• An overview of negligence claims
• The reasonable person standard
• The "res ipsa loquitur" doctrine
• Hypothetical scenarios involving breach of the standard of care
