Becoming Counsel

In this episode, we break down the building blocks of criminal liability: the guilty act (actus reus), the guilty mind (mens rea), and causation.

In this episode, I break down how crimes are classified—felonies vs. misdemeanors, malum prohibitum vs. malum in se, and how intent plays a role. It’s a quick review to help me (and maybe you) stay sharp on the go.

I’ll keep this simple. I’m not an expert, I’m not a licensed attorney—I’m just a guy who didn’t pass the bar on my first try. I need a way to review key legal concepts on the go, whether I’m commuting, working out, or doing other things.
