The Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast: Pass the Bar Exam with Less Stress

309: Listen and Learn -- Felony Murder and Causation (Criminal Law)


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today we're exploring some complex aspects of criminal law that frequently appear on exams -- the felony murder rule and causation in homicide cases. We have included an analysis of two hypothetical scenarios to illustrate these legal principles.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Review of the felony murder rule
  • Which felonies are considered inherently dangerous?
  • The death of a co-felon rule
  • Causation in homicide cases, and when is the chain of causation broken?
  • Analysis of two hypothetical criminal law scenarios
