Listen and Learn -- Elements of a Crime


Episode 516


Welcome back to the Law School 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
