532: Listen and Learn -- Criminal Procedure: Identifications (Part 2)

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This episode continues the discussion on criminal identification procedures, focusing on potential due process violation issues. Through analyzing a hypothetical scenario, we illustrate how courts look at the totality of the circumstances and assess whether identification procedures are unnecessarily suggestive. The episode concludes with a step-by-step approach to tackling identification procedure questions on an exam.

In this episode we discuss:

• A question from the October 2020 California bar exam
• The various types of identification procedures
• How to consider the totality of the circumstances when determining potential due process violations
• An exam strategy for answering identification procedure questions
