NATURE OF THE EXAMINATION
The examination consists of two parts: one part requires you to answer eight essay questions (10 points each); the other part is objective questions. The essays are of two types—those dealing with legal issues which require you to solve the problem by giving complete reasons for the decision and recognizing legal issues involved in the problem, and those which require you to extensively describe important concepts of the course. The objective questions (165 total points) are multiple-choice, true/false, and case problems.
You will have three hours to complete the examination. All materials you will need will be provided; you are not permitted to use textbooks, notes, or other supplementary aids.
