Study Smarter

The Law Library has many materials to help you study throughout the semester, including professors’ past exams, which are posted on the library website (log in with your CSU ID and pin). Whether to post and which exams to post is up to the individual professor⁠—some choose not to place their exams online, but many do offer examples. Typically you’ll find the exam questions without answers. Good luck as you start to study for exams!

Room A066 (on the Atrium level, one floor below the main level) is where all of the the study aids available in print and on CD for checkout are located. Some of the most popular titles, which address many areas of law, include: Understanding, Q&A, Examples and Explanations, Sum and Substance, Nutshells, and Emanuel’s Outlines. If a title is checked out, a copy may be available for use in the library in the reference section on the first floor.

Law in a Flash Flashcards are also available for checkout at the circulation desk in the law library. The flashcards circulate for three days. Topics currently available for checkout are: Contracts, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, Real Property, Torts, and Wills & Trusts.
