311: Spotlight on Criminal Law (Part 1)


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! This is the first of three episodes in which we summarize the topics from Criminal Law we've covered in our "Listen and Learn" series. We begin by reviewing the elements of a crime (actus reus, mens rea, causation, concurrence) and the various types of homicide (first-degree murder, second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter). We also cover legal defenses in criminal law and provide an attack plan for analyzing homicide questions on an exam.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The essential elements of a crime
  • The different types of homicide
  • Legal defenses in criminal law
  • An attack plan for analyzing homicide questions on an exam
