112: Listen and Learn -- Property Crimes

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today's episode is part of our "Listen and Learn" series, where we review substantive areas of the law that you're likely to encounter on the bar exam.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to approach open-ended questions and specific questions
• A summary of the rules for eight property crimes
• The merger doctrine
• Analyzing two hypos involving property crimes, from the July 2004 and July 2012 California bar exams
