EXAMINATIONS

 

 

Listed below are the previous examinations given in this course that are available at this site together with memos commenting on what might have been said in answer to the essay question(s) and instructions for this year’s exam.

The Exam Instructions linked below are the preliminary instructions for the one in the spring of 2019. (If there is any change, I will notify you.) I would particularly recommend that you look at the statutes and cases in the packet of primary materials. The essay question this year will involve South Dakota law, although it will be a very different question from the one that I gave last spring (no dinosaurs!). The appendix may contain a more than is actually necessary for the question, but it will give you a very good idea of what one jurisdiction has done with many of the topics that we discussed this semester, and hence would be good for review. Sometimes in previous years I have included a packet statutes or a case to look at before the exam. I have not yet decided whether to do that this year. If I do, I will send you a notice in plenty of time.
