Law school exams : a guide to better grades/Alex Schimel KF283 .S335 2012
*Available at the Circulation Desk
"Law School Exams: A Guide to Better Grades is the complete handbook for students who want to significantly improve their performance in law school. Written from the perspective of a student with a 4.0 GPA, this book offers fresh and unique insights on law school exams by stripping the exam format into a series of repeatable steps and building blocks. It also teaches students how to ''prepare for exams, instead of preparing for class,'' with proven time-management, outlining, and case-briefing techniques." From Amazon
Advanced tort law : a problem approach/Vincent R. Johnson.
KF 1250.A7 J638 2010
"This textbook is designed for use in upper-level law school courses. It reflects the belief that the most effective teaching materials for students beyond the first year of law school are centered on problems of the kind that lawyers face in practice." From Amazon
Pretrial/Thomas A. Mauet KF 8900 .M38 2012
*Available at the Circulation Desk
"Pretrial achieved leading stature through its clear, concise, well-organized presentation of pretrial preparation by one of the country's leading experts on trial techniques. An effective systematic approach organizes pretrial planning and preparation into a series of distinct steps students can readily master. Litigation files from a hypothetical case, complete with sample documentation and paperwork, take students through each stage of a civil case. Additional litigation files, six in all, appear on an accompanying CD-ROM and include both plaintiffs' and defendants' files. The Eighth Edition expands the discussion of using the Internet to conduct informal fact investigations. The text examines Ashcroft v. Iqbal and Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly and their influence on general notice requirements for claims. New material explores liens on settlements, and the Eighth Edition includes a full discussion of Supreme Court decisions in Wal-Mart Stores v. Dukes and Erica P. John Fund v. Halliburton."
