Preparation for law school final exams is crucial, as these exams often determine a significant portion of a student's final grade and can impact career opportunities. Law exams require more than memorization; they test students' ability to analyze complex fact patterns, apply legal principles, and make persuasive arguments under time constraints. In conjunction with several Academic Success professionals, CALI offers multiple CALI Lessons on exam preparation.
