Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! In today’s episode, as part of our “Listen and Learn” series, we’re discussing Section 2-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

• What’s the first thing a professor typically wants to see on a Contracts essay?
• The “predominant purpose” test for a transaction
• The “mirror image” rule from common law
• Understanding the rules of UCC § 2-207
• Going through two hypos involving contracts
• How are additional and different contract terms treated by the courts?
