Advice on preparing for and writing the exam
General information. The examination in this course will be in 8-hour take-home format; you may write the exam at home, at the library, or in a classroom provided by the law school. For further details on exam logistics, see the official CLS Fall 2008 exam schedule.The exam will be completely open-book, and will consist of two essay questions, weighted equally. One question will be a traditional issue-spotter question, and the other will be more planning- or policy-oriented. You will be limited to a maximum number of words per question.
Advice on preparing for and writing the exam. To be provided.
Prior years' exams. Here are copies of previous years' exams for this course, so you can get a sense of the sort of problems you are training yourselves to be able to solve. At this point, however, the problems are beyond your competence and you should not waste any time or energy trying to work on them; you should save that for the end of the semester. I will instead supply shorter problems over the course of the semester for those who are interested in a mid-semester review. In the last week of the term I will post copies of the top student answers to each question and, for the more recent exams, feedback memos that sketch out my view of a good answer.Note also that prior to 1996, I taught Contracts as a 5- or 6-hour course. Thus the exams for these semesters cover some doctrinal material that we did not cover in this class, and for which you will not be held responsible.
