Indiana University School of Law -- Indianapolis Exams
Some exams from IU law professors are available on the
Ruth Lilly Law Library website at http://indylaw.indiana.edu/library/examfiles.html
or on reserve.
Access to these exams is restricted to IU students. To
access exams available on the website, you
will need to logon with your IU username and password.
The exams are arranged by course name or the name of the
professor. The Law Library relies on professors to submit
electronic copies of their exams for this collection. Please contact
your professor to inquire about the availability of previous exams that
are not available in the Law Library.
Other Collections of Exams
Several law schools and libraries maintain freely
available collections of their school's exams. For lists of links see
