In this podcast, we read you 10 key questions & answers that give you important background knowledge of Criminal Procedure: 8th Amendment, which is critical to the more detailed questions that might arise on the Bar Exam.

For example:

• 0:17 -- What is the 8th Amendment?
• 0:36 -- Does the 8th Amendment apply to states?
• 1:24 -- Does applying a harsher sentence to a repeat offender violate the 8th Amendment?
• 1:47 -- Can D be incarcerated solely for his inability to pay a fine?

These podcasts are perfect for "passive studying" while you're exercising, cooking, cleaning, commuting, or otherwise unable to focus on the Brainscape app itself.

Of course, the most effective way to study is to use Brainscape's adaptive web & mobile flashcards app, which covers comprehensive background knowledge pulled from all the top bar exam prep courses.  Remember that you can learn more about it at http://bit.ly/brainscapeMBE .

Best of luck on your studies!
