Learning Objectives
• I will understand the factors needed to write a theory answer of at least ‘clear’ quality (A-C)
• I will be able to apply this to causation and mens rea
![Page 4: What does this represent? LEGAL L EGAL L E GAL L E G AL L E G A L](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56812aad550346895d8e73a4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Starter Activity
• On your mini whiteboards you need to write down the answers to these questions and then hold them up when I ask.
• There are 3 rounds of increasing difficulty and you will have a score out of 15.
• Good luck and God speed, may the power of Crump be with you...

What can you be asked theory questions on in the exam?
Criminal:actus reus + omissions, mens rea, causation, strict liability, contemporaneity rule, transferred malice
Negligence:duty of care, breach, damage
![Page 9: What does this represent? LEGAL L EGAL L E GAL L E G AL L E G A L](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56812aad550346895d8e73a4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The principles of a theory question
• Start with a general definition of the term asked• Identify the key terms needed to answer the
question fully• Ensure you explain each point/key term clearly• Use legal terminology (why?) (hint: think about
marks available)• Support your answer with cases/Acts• Put this all together in a logical and coherent way
(structure)

Legal Teaser
