Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! This is another episode in our "Listen and Learn" series, where we review legal concepts and apply them to fact patterns. Today, we're tackling the reasonable person standard in Negligence.

In this episode, we discuss:

Who is the reasonable person we hold everyone else's conduct up to?
When do we apply the reasonable person "under the circumstances"?
Some commonly tested standards (people with physical or mental disabilities, children, professionals)
Analyzing a Negligence question from the February 2011 California bar exam
The importance of considering every fact in the fact pattern
If you think there are two sides to the argument - argue them both!
Developing an attack plan for Negligence
