You may not, of course, infringe copyright by posting more than fair-use excerpts of what others have written.
Examination: The course will culminate in an open-book final exam, which will ask you to draw on course readings and discussion to respond to hypothetical situations. You may use your notes, casebooks, and any material you have prepared in advance of the exam. You will not have Internet access during the exam.
Our exam will be similar in format and coverage to this 2006 Sample Exam. For further review, you may wish to look at questions 2 and 3 from Prof. Weinreb.
