Preparing for the MPRE and

Bar Exam Preparation

In addition to course readings, class notes, CALI exercises*, and sample exams, some students find study aids helpful in preparing for exams and learning the law. Speaking broadly, study aids include narrative descriptions of the law, outlines, and practice questions.

The Law Library tries to maintain one or two copies of the most widely used study aids. Generally, the latest editions of Law Library study aids are available for two-hour, in-library checkout from the Information Desk. Older editions are in the stacks, available for regular check out. (See Finding Library Materials for more information on how to find materials referenced in this guide.)

If you would like to recommend a title for purchase or have materials to donate, please share them with desk staff or send them to Acquisitions/Reference Librarian Deborah Sulzbach. If you would like a personal copy, many of these materials can be purchased at the SBA Bookstore.

The Law Library's collection of study aids can be searched by subject, material type/series, or both in combination. Older (pre-2000) study aids have been omitted from the listings on this page.

Note: Study aids are most effectively used as a complement to your own reading, class participation, and outlining. It may also be wise to check your syllabus or ask your professor for specific recommendations for review materials.

*Ask at the Information Desk if you have forgotten how to log on to CALI.

Use the search by subject or search by series tabs to bring up lists of study aids by class or publication series.

The easiest way to search by both subject and series is by using the catalog search form. Enter the subject in the keyword field and the series in the series field.

Please consult the library staff at the Information Desk for more information or assistance in finding specific materials.
