Tips, techniques, and mark-up codes:

Practice essay questions:

Note that these questions are more straightforward than what you might find on an actual examination. These questions are intended to help students build examination-taking skills.

Prior examinations:

Exams from 4-credit single-semester course starting Fall 2016.

The links below include actually administered essay questions along with selected multiple-choice questions. Students studying for a midterm are cautioned against attempting final exam questions, as they incorporate more material than we have yet covered, and final exam questions are written for a level of skills competency more advanced than you will have by early October.

Selected exams from year-long six-semester course through 2015.

Essay questions from 2011 to 2015 are also online. However, I would caution current Civ Pro students regarding those questions as they are structured very differently (and are in some cases a good bit lengthier) from my current testing approach.

Civil Procedure I (focused on jurisdiction and venue)

Civil Procedure II (focused on FRCP)
