Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! This is the first of three episodes in which we summarize the topics from Torts we've covered in our "Listen and Learn" series. Today, we're focusing on negligence and its four key elements - duty, breach, causation, and damages. We have included an attack plan for exam questions on negligence, and a quick practical example.

In this episode, we discuss:

• An overview of negligence
• The four elements of negligence - duty, breach, causation, and damages
• An attack plan for answering exam questions on negligence
• A practical scenario illustrating a negligence analysis
