Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we have another episode in our "Listen and Learn" series, where we review a substantive area of the law and apply the rules to fact patterns. This time, we're focusing on two topics from Torts -- specifically, assault and battery.

In this episode, we discuss:

Unpacking the elements of assault and battery
Are threatening words enough to be considered an assault?
Some less obvious situations where harmful or offensive bodily contact can occur
Coming up with scenarios to help you remember the rules
Going through a fact pattern from the February 2016 California bar exam Torts essay
How to analyze intentional tort questions
