Heafey has just received the 2005 edition of Siegel’s law school examination preparation series for the following topics:  Property; Torts; Professional Responsibility; Evidence; Corporations; Contracts; Criminal Law; Criminal Procedure; and Civil Procedure.  Each book contains sample essay questions with sample answers as well as multiple-choice questions with a detailed answer key.  You’ll find the Siegel’s exam prep series in Heafey’s Stauffer Collection -- we’ll be shelving all of the books in the series by the end of the week.  If you have any difficulty locating exam prep materials, stop by the reference desk and ask a librarian for help.  You can also reach a librarian by e-mail or by phone.

From the palpable tension in the library, the reference librarians can tell that exam time is almost here, and we thought this would be a good time to offer a few helpful exam preparation resources.  We've created a comprehensive guide to all of the exciting exam prep resources available at Heafey, including our popular collection of past SCU Law exams.  Our guide also tells you how to find sample essay and multiple-choice questions in Heafey's collection.  To access the guide, click on this link to Heafey's ClaraNet resources, then click on the fifth research guide in the list entitled "Exam Guide and Tips."

Don't forget about CALI exercises!  The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction offers a wide array of Web-based, interactive exercises that can help you master all of those tricky legal concepts from your first-year classes.  And CALI exercises are available for lots of upper-level classes, too, including evidence, intellectual property, tax, wills and trusts, and more!  Just ask one of Heafey's reference librarians for the SCU authorization code to access the CALI exercises.
