Anyone else finding their crim outlines to mainly be a list of statutes?

Complete opposite, but my teacher is crazy so.

I am really shocked at how many people seem to have trouble understanding felony murder.

Is it the actual doctrines, or its exceptions?

The actual doctrine. I tried to help a few people out and they started spewing all this proximate cause and but-for causation and extreme indifference standards and I just gave up.

only one I have is the MPC for levels of mens rea, besides that not a single one

professor will put about 10 pages of statutes on the final, for which we are supposed to follow, and then fill in any gaps with case-law we learned throughout the semester

[rejectmaster]

instead of studying for criminal law i've been sketching futurama characters for the past hr

really should have gone to math grad school where that kind of nerdfest behavior is encouraged

[TTH]

I really have no idea what to do with the cases we've read. Our prof said he's only testing MPC and Ohio law, so I'm paying attention to any Ohio cases we've read, but Ohio's code is pretty MPC-heavy. I wish crim was over so I could focus on Civ Pro. Sigh.

Reading this thread has made me not look forward to next semester (crim and civ pro).

You took the words right out of my fingertips.

Don't forget Con Law. My prediction: we get to read 1000 pages of liberal v. conservative Supreme Court justices bitching at each other through dicta.

At least you don't have these 3, plus K's, Torts, and Legal Writing at the same fucking time.

Tab the shit out of your outline and FRCP.

Anybody else read Chirelstein for contracts? It's incredibly helpful. BUT. In his section about promises to make gifts, his illustration involves a family member promising to pay off a niece's law school loans, "Up to a limit of $10,000."

Do you have any idea if the library has this on reserve? I'm pretty strong in contracts, but I want to get some more information on Battle of the Forms.

Also, LAWL.

chirelstein's little book is fantastic. abraham's little torts book is also phenomenal. i've been told that all of those little books in the concepts and insights series are good, actually.
