Reading the Law
“What does this sentence actually forbid?”
Learn to read a provision — its elements, its exceptions, and the difference between what it says and what people assume it says.
Start here
Full lessons — comic, mechanism, problems and a check. About 20 minutes each.
Attempted, frustrated, consummated
“Binaril niya pero hindi tinamaan. Ano ang kaso?”
One act, three possible crimes. The line between them is not how bad the outcome was — it is how far the offender got before something outside his will stopped him.
Open lessonWhen an arrest without a warrant holds
“Pwede ba nila akong arestuhin nang walang warrant?”
Three narrow situations, and one rule students reverse: the arrest justifies the search, never the other way round.
