Sorry, but can you turn a man into a women? Can you make a father no long er be his son's father, but still be financially responsible for him? Of course you can't.
Because Lawfags rule above all.

I'll take the case.
But seriously tho, that isn't completely wrong either, if you can't be said to correspond to the person having held the crime's Men's Rea, you can't have committed the crime.
And it isn't like dumb retarded defenses like blackout defense weren't used constantly (and still are).

I did, but not in the US.
Practice case study exams.
Read your shit, but more to memorize where to find the answer than memorizing the content.
Find yourself a study group. Pooling your notes together can really help.
Depending on the legislature, your jurisprudence might be 3~4 times the same text written by different folks, with the judge's decision and notes at the end. Reading obliquely is a good skill to develop.
Disregard fools, Law School were the greatest years of my life.

See, Law School was the best for me. First time in my life I was easily good at something (didn't know it at first, but apparently I answer case study exams better than classical ones). I was part of a program because I'm a relay typist where my courses where essentially paid for in exchange for giving my notes to special needs students. Not only did that force me to attend classes, but people quickly noticed I was taking notes verbatum from the teacher and a group approached me to study together and pool our notes. Despite all the warnings my dad had given me about fellow law students, nothing ever went wrong, everyone pulled a respectable weight, and it gave me a tightnit group in each classes.
Everything in my life was absolute mediocrity before Law. After everything was clear and relatively easy.
