Welcome back to the Law School 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 talking about promissory estoppel.

In this episode we discuss:

When is a promise breakable, and when is it a contract?
What is inadequate consideration?
Analyzing a question from the July 2002 California bar exam
Breach of contract and reliance damages
Why reasoning is more important than the conclusion on law school exams
