Becoming Counsel

Overview of US Contract Law


Listen Later

Contracts on the MBE can feel overwhelming — unless you understand the structure.
In this episode of Becoming Counsel, we break down Contracts from the ground up, starting with governing law and moving step-by-step through formation, enforceability, performance, breach, and remedies. Instead of memorizing rules, you’ll learn why the doctrines exist, how they fit together, and when they matter on the bar exam.

This episode covers common law vs. the UCC, offer and acceptance, consideration and promissory estoppel, the Statute of Frauds, contract interpretation, performance and breach, damages, and third-party issues — all explained clearly with examples and exam-style hypotheticals. It’s designed as a single, high-yield overview for bar takers who want to think like the examiners, not just recite black-letter law.
