Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're doing another episode in our "Listen and Learn" series, talking about the Uniform Commercial Code Section 2-207 -- or "battle of the forms", as it's commonly called.
In this episode, we discuss:
- When to use the UCC in a Contracts essay
- Understanding the rules of Section 2-207
- The "mirror image" rule from common law
- Going through two hypos involving UCC Section 2-207
- Stating the possible outcomes and coming up with a reasonable conclusion
- How a flowchart helps in visualizing the question
