Professors can indicate that no exams were administered by them that semester. Professors can give permission for the Registrar's Office to release copies of their exams to us. Once the Registrar receives your signed form, they provide us with electronic copies of your exams. Prior to Fall 2000, the exams were either put on course reserve or copied, bound, and shelved in the library. Beginning with Fall 2000, exams released by the faculty are accessible on the Law Library web site .
Professors can supply sample answers for the exams they are releasing.
Access to exams is an important issue for both students and faculty. The Registrar will keep a file of written permission forms in order to prevent misunderstandings over the course of time, as staff and circumstances change. We maintain a Final Exam Finding Aid which lists released exams. A copy of the Finding Aid is located at the Circulation Desk in the Law Library. It will soon be made available as well on the library web site.
