Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, in an episode from our "Listen and Learn" series, we're discussing an important concept from Contract Law - consideration - which is one of the three requirements of contract formation.

In this episode we discuss:

• The three requirements of contract formation
• What is consideration?
• The two ways in which consideration can be provided
• The situations in which there is never valid consideration
• Examples from previous California bar exams
