Mirror Image Rule - Contract Law

The video tutorial explains the mirror image rule in contract law, which requires acceptance to match the offer exactly. It distinguishes between contracts involving goods and non-goods, highlighting that additional terms in non-goods contracts are counter offers, while in goods contracts, they may be suggestions or become part of the contract if both parties are merchants.
