MPC Section 2.02

Sam Kamin,
Dana Lindenberg

Section 2.02 sets forth the MPC's approach to mens rea analysis. It is one of the most important statutes in this course and should be read multiple times and with great care.

It is also almost impossible to comprehend on first (or even tenth) reading. Don't be put off if you don't grasp it prior to class. We will spend a great deal of time together going over each of its parts.
