Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're introducing a new series of podcast episodes called "Listen and Learn," where we're going to review substantive areas of the law and apply some of that law to facts. In this episode, we're talking about homicide.

In this episode, we discuss:

Developing effective attack plans for an essay
Common law homicide
The four elements of malice aforethought
Heat of passion and imperfect self-defense
Analyzing two criminal law questions, from the February 2007 and February 2008 California bar exams
Classifying a homicide as first-degree murder, second-degree murder, or manslaughter
Arguing both sides of the facts and looking for holes in the fact pattern
