Manage episode 415251234 series 3051495
Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're focusing on the basics of Criminal Law – that is, the elements of a crime. Specifically, we're going to spend some time diving into the two most important elements: causation and mens rea.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The four elements necessary to prove a crime
- The defendant's state of mind and criminal intent when they commit a crime
- Actual and proximate causation
- Two hypos from previous California bar exams
