Remember, removal is a case moving from state to federal (only D). Remand is a case moving from federal to state (P and only if the case was previously removed) #barprep

DEAD PEOPLE & THEIR THINGS (WILLS & TRUSTS) #barprep
Testamentary Intent
A will is only valid if the testator INTENDED it to operate as their will.
"This is my last will" = presumption of testamentary intent. But it's REBUTTABLE.
Extrinsic evidence is generally admissible to prove OR disprove intent. Look at the full picture.

CON LAW SERIES: THE CONSTITUTION & ITS PRECEDENT #barprep
Like Crim Pro, Bar Exam Con Law does not mirror real life. Do not bring in what's going on in the world today to the Bar Exam Universe.
Bar Exam: We will adhere to the Constitution and its precedent.
Law School: We will almost always adhere to the Constitution and its precedent.
Real Life: Allegedly, we are supposed to adhere to the Constitution and its precent.
You do not need to memorize the cases, but I found it useful to use them as anchors to memorize the principles/rulings
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE SERIES #barprep
*NOTE: BAR EXAM CRIM PRO DOES NOT MIRROR REAL LIFE. IN THE BAR EXAM UNIVERSE, COPS ACTUALLY FOLLOW THE RULES* If you don't believe me, ask @alittleleader and @croptopsllc
Arrests
PROBABLE CAUSE for arrest = facts and circumstances that would warrant a reasonable person to conclude suspect committed a crime.
π Public arrest? Probable cause only.
π Arrest in suspect's HOME? Need an arrest warrant (unless emergency).
Location matters
CRIMINAL LAW SERIES #barprep
Homicide Overview
MURDER = unlawful killing + MALICE AFORETHOUGHT
Malice comes in 4 flavors:
π Intent to kill
π Intent to cause serious bodily injury
π Depraved heart (reckless indifference to human life)

EVIDENCE SERIES #barprep
The Relevance Two-Step
Evidence tip: Relevance has TWO parts.
RULE 401 (Logical): Does it make a fact more or less probable?
RULE 403 (Legal): Is probative value SUBSTANTIALLY outweighed by unfair prejudice?
Key word: SUBSTANTIALLY. The scale tips toward admissibility
