The Criminal Law & Procedure Pattern Pack

The NextGen MCQ supplement built for one thing: getting the standalone multiple-choice questions right.

Criminal Law and Procedure is one of the foundational subjects on the NextGen bar exam, and it hides its doctrine inside a handful of recurring triggers — a mental state, a moment in a sequence, a code-word the bar loves. Once you see the trigger, the rule family follows. The problem is speed under pressure. The standalone multiple-choice portion now comes in two shapes — select-one-of-four and select-two-of-six — and rewards the candidate who can read a dense fact pattern, spot the trigger, name the rule, and predict the answer in seconds. This pack trains exactly that.

Read like a pattern hunter.

Bar examiners write thousands of fact patterns, but the triggers fall into a small number of recognizable shapes. You'll learn the five-trigger taxonomy — relationships, timelines, mental states, the specific phrases the bar loves, and conflicts or consequences — so every question stops feeling random and starts feeling familiar. "Custodial interrogation," "heat of passion," "substantial step," "in plain view," "during the felony" — each phrase points straight at its doctrine. Then you apply the Three-Step Move: spot the trigger, name the rule, predict the answer. One fluid read, every time.

What's inside:

  • 30 fully worked patterns across homicide grades, the inchoate crimes, property offenses, the defenses and the intent ladder, accomplice liability, the Fourth Amendment warrant exceptions, Miranda and the Fifth Amendment, the right to counsel, double jeopardy, the Confrontation Clause, and the exclusionary rule

  • Both NextGen MCQ formats on every pattern — a select-one-of-four question and a select-two-of-six question, so you drill the exact shapes the exam uses

  • Correct answers marked and distractor logic explained — you learn why the wrong answers are wrong, which is where points are won

  • The Top 10 Traps + format-specific traps, including the custody-plus-interrogation and felony-murder classics

  • Practice Mode and a full Answer Key so you can test cold, then check yourself

Focused by design. This is a dedicated multiple-choice trainer — it deliberately skips the integrated question sets and performance tasks so every page sharpens the recognition speed those standalone MCQs demand. Use it alongside your main outlines and question banks in the final weeks, when turning knowledge into fast, confident answer selection is the whole game.
