The Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast: Pass the Bar Exam with Less Stress

Welcome back to the Bar Exam 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 the bar 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
