It's that time of year to start studying for final exams. When I was in law school, I found the best way to prepare for exams was by doing practice exams with hypothetical questions. That way I could issue spot and apply the rules to fact patterns in a way that simulated what it would be like during the exam. Luckily, the Law Library has practice exam material both in print and online to help you practice and prepare for exams. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask us at the Reference Desk or Circulation Desk. We wish you all the best in your exam prep and success in your exams!
Print Study Aids: The print study aid bookcase behind the Circulation Desk has an abundance of resources for practicing. On the Law Library’s website, there is a new title organized, multi-tabbed LibGuide, called Print Study Aid Publications, which will show you everything we have in print, including The Question and Answers Series, The Understanding Series, The Glannon Guide to Series, The Examples and Explanations Series, Legal Writing Books, Legal Citation Books, and other hornbooks, treatises, and practice question books.
Online: Through the Law Library website, you can access the West Academic Study Aids. For access issues, go to Student Services' Study Aids page for detailed instructions.
With West Academic, you can filter by Subject, Content Type, or Series, to find the resource you need.
Filtering via Subject: If you know which class you need to study for, filtering by Subject will be the easiest as it gives you all the outlines and exam prep materials available for that subject matter. For example, you can go to 1L Subjects and pick a subject, such as Civil Procedure, to get all study aids on that subject.
Filtering via Content Type: For exam prep questions, try filtering by Content Type, and then clicking Exam Prep and Multiple Choice for some great options to peruse.
Filtering via Series: If you filter by Series, try filtering by Exam Pro and Flash cards for practice questions.
