Criminal Law, Procedure and Evidence on the Louisiana Bar Exam

5 teaching unitsNon-Code subject10:30 AM–12:30 PM

Criminal Law here bundles three things: substantive criminal law (the Title 14 crimes and their elements), criminal procedure (search & seizure, confessions), and evidence (hearsay, confrontation). Question 1 is always "identify every crime"; Question 2 is usually a suppression or evidence problem.

Where it sits on the exam

Day 3 (Friday), 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
Tested by multi-part essay questions, and in recent years about 10 multiple-choice questions as well.
One of 4 non-Code subjects. The five Code subjects count double the four non-Code subjects toward your score.

What it tests

Question 1, worth about half the block, asks you to spot all crimes, their elements, and every lesser-included charge for each actor; Question 2 tests procedure or evidence.
