Yeah, the past few weeks ever since jumping into LR have been tough for me. Sure, there are some that I will get right, but right now it seems that I am falling behind. I have the feeling that I need to review this ENTIRE section again, but I don't want to fall behind on my study plan. It may be prudent for me to push back my Law School entry timeline just to ensure I've got these concepts down.
Anyway, it was cool to see a Bar Exam prep question. That definitely helped to bring me back to reality & add a bit of encouragement to the mix.
Burglary HAS to be committed at nighttime? What does nighttime mean? Is it PM? After sunset? What if I break in at 12:01 but it's still dark out? What if I break in at dawn?
Granted I'm sure B&E will cover all of these hypotheticals but it's crazy that we have a different definition because of "nighttime" and, I assume, different sentencing guidelines
EDIT: just found out that breaking and entering and burglary are interchangeable in canada, but not the US. wild.
Alrighty... I must come to the conclusion that it is not time to study for the bar considering that the page cannot be found. Oh thank god. I live another day.
Now that we've completed this fun lesson, we have passed the "bar exam" administered by 7Sage. We are now fully licensed attorneys. See y'all in court! /j
#feedback The full version of the question states that the answer is (A), no crime, whereas this page says it's (D). It was a bit confusing because it seems like the question here focuses what Attila can be convicted of, whereas the explanation on the MBE sample page focuses on that of Lushan (the friend).
In the original, full version of the question, Attila and Lushan are only called "the young man" and "the friend." Without the names, the stimulus suddenly seems more difficult to read. It's weird, but nothing new. Guess the need for grammar parsing isn't going away anytime soon.
Feel like this brought me back to Earth a bit.. helped me remember why I'm doing this. It's so easy to get lost in the craziness that comes with studying for the LSAT. We can do this, it's ours if we want it bad enough. I could run through a fuckin brick wall right now lol
loved this lesson so much, im literally buzzing and want to go on a whole deep dive into the bar exam in ontario (but i won't get distracted lol). additionally, i think for lushan, he could be charged with aiding and abetting
@ayomidetibikunle268 I thought they same thing for Lushan, or at the very least, conspiracy to commit larceny/burglary. He talked about it, agreed to do it, and then rather than go to the police to turn his friend in, he drove him to the site of the crime and provided him the means to commit it. Shame on you Lushan...
Then it isn't burglary under common law! According to the Legal Information Institute, in common law jurisdictions, nighttime is an element of burglary. However, in those jurisdictions that have adopted the Model Penal Code, it is not considered an element. Fascinating stuff! https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/burglary

Absolutely enjoyed this lesson! Thanks for introducing me to a Bar Exam question!
I definitely needed to read this.
My worst section is definitely weakening. Hopes are still up because I WILL JUST DRILL IT!

Bar Exam question was interesting, makes me want to take the bar exam....with J.Y. helping me lol.
I just realized I had no idea what burglary actually meant until this very moment in time!

cant see the content of the actual links
Links to bar exam questions and explanation are broken on the new site.

This was a wonderful introduction to the bar. I'm both terrified and excited to get there one day.
The bar example is way more interesting than any situation we have been introduced to for the LSAT
@ExcitingQuietDiscussion I concur.

Its because they changed the entire answer section for the video. Then question and answers are all different.
Loved this!! I feel motivated again
Genuinely very smart to include this lesson at this point in the syllabus!
I felt like I just went outside and touched grass, thank you for this.
ok but you see... this makes sense
Then you'll pass the bar with flying colors!! You got this!!

They were consistent with the application of "friend" and "young man"
That just became their names. EZ PZ
This was such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing and helping us remember WHY we are doing this. This was a lot of fun!
this was my absolute favorite lesson.

What if it wasn't at night time?

Depends on the state now. Many states have expanded their laws to no longer have the time of day condition.
This was awesome, totally needed that extra motivation (why does the bar sound so much better to study for than the lsat) or is that just me
same here. it's so funny that it's just carrying away the TV. There's a plot going on here compared to LSAT
