NO past exams available...

The title pretty much says it all. My school does not keep a library of past exams and none of my professors are going to allow access to any. How should I be practicing since I do not have access to old exams?

Google. It is really easy to find other schools' exams. Granted, they are not coming from your exact professor, but I used tons of exams from other schools during 1L and did really well, so just because it isn't your professor doesn't necessarily mean it isn't useful. Just make sure when you do them you time yourself and put yourself under exact exam conditions to make the most of your practice.

I know my Torts professor said she wants specific references to the cases we have discussed in class...will exams from google still be useful? Do you know of any good sites that have a lot of exams?
