Exercise: Write A Specific Intent Statute
Please do two things. First, get on Westlaw or Lexis and find a specific intent statute that is new to us--different from anything we've considered so far.
Second, please write your own specific intent statute, and think about why you are using or adding such an element. Can you think of conduct that might be lawful but then unlawful with a certain purpose? Or use it to grade.
