Con Law Tips/Advice? Forum

jn7 · Post by **jn7** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 12:09 am

Obviously classes are all taught differently, but does anyone have any good tips for a con law exam? Given how dense all the material is and how case heavy it is, it doesn't seem like there is a good way to make a nice, concise outline. I'm thinking of just flash-carding all the cases and not even trying to figure out how to get the outline especially short?

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Apologies for the laziness in not using the search function

There is no law, there is just what 5 of 9 old people can agree to on any particular day.

just memorize rules for the final......the call of any con law question usually tells you what they're lookin for...

I get most of the concepts, but am having a hard time conceptualizing what an exam question/answer would really look like.

lawdegree.com go to student secure area, pw: jurislaw and check out past exams for con law.......there harder than bar questions cuz my dean teaches it and is a con law freak. he has insane questions with great outlines of the answer. hope this helps

I think Berkley's website has question/answers.

TLS has an exam bank bank. Esbeck at the University of Missouri has a number of con law exams posted. I haven't started doing practice hypos this semester yet, but Pepperdine's exam bank was pretty robust for me last semester, so check there as well.
