Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! This is the second episode in our "Listen and Learn" series, where we review legal concepts and apply them to fact patterns. Today, we're talking about negligence per se.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Statutory standard of care
- The basic steps of a negligence per se analysis
- How to look at the statutes narrowly and broadly
- Analyzing three essay questions from previous California bar exams
- Tips for spotting negligence per se on the bar exam
- When to go beyond negligence per se and into regular negligence theory
