Criminal Law and Procedure

Criminal Law and Procedure combine offense elements with constitutional protections. Keep the substantive crime analysis separate from search, seizure, confession, and trial-rights analysis.

Core Buckets

  • Actus reus, mens rea, causation, homicide, property crimes, inchoate offenses, accomplice liability, and defenses.
  • Fourth Amendment searches and seizures, warrants, exceptions, and exclusionary-rule limits.
  • Fifth and Sixth Amendment protections, identification procedures, guilty pleas, sentencing, and double jeopardy.

Practice Move

For procedure questions, build a timeline. Rights often attach, change, or expire based on custody, interrogation, charging, counsel request, or trial stage.
