Here it is, the podcast on general defenses: Defenses. Feel free to come see me as we wind down the semester with  questions about anything.

The semester is winding down quickly. Here are two more podcasts: Supreme Court Review and Abstention. I just have to put the finishing touches on the law to apply podcast, and we will be all caught up. I’ll likely have that done early next week.

Here is the podcast summary for subject matter jurisdiction, particularly federal question or arising under jurisdiction: arising under. You may notice that the topic of Congress’ control over state court jurisdiction has not yet been part of a summary. I’ve decided that it fits best in the federal common law/law to apply section, and so it will be covered in that summary. Next up will be Supreme Court review of state court decisions.

Here is the summary podcast for doctrines of imputation: imputation. We’re now done with the first half of the liability analysis: doctrines of offense and doctrines of imputation for offenses. We move on tomorrow to doctrines of defense, those “yes, but” defenses we have kept hinting about all semester.

I’m catching up to where we are on podcast summaries, here is the one for inchoate crimes, Inchoate, and the one on doctrines of imputation will follow. After that, there will be one last monster summary on defenses.

Here’s a podcast on jurisdiction stripping: jurisdiction stripping. The script is, as usual, on TWEN. Hope you’re having a good week!

Hot off the press. homicide and causation

Now that we’re finished with the justiciability section, here is the audio summary for it. justiciability. I’ll warn you, it’s kind of long, in that it’s more than 20 minutes, which is my usual target max. But there’s a lot of stuff that’s closely related, so it all makes sense together.

Let me know if you have questions or want me to cover anything differently or in greater depth.

We’re not too far into the semester, but we’ve already covered some of the most important and most fundamental material in criminal law. I’ve done four podcast summaries of that foundational stuff:

1. crimlaw intro
2. legality
3. punishment
4. culpability

Let me know if there is anything I can explain differently or further, or if there are additional things you would like.
