Multiple Choice - 36 points
Previous Points - 44 points
100 points for semester
2. This examination is designed for three hours. However, you may have three and one-half
hours to answer it. The additional time is to permit better organization, more careful
thinking and neater handwriting. (No credit is given for illegible answers.)
3. Read the question carefully. Particularly note whether you are to be a judge, advocate,
adviser or dispassionate scholar.
4. Your grade on the essay question is based upon the context of your answers and the
manner in which you communicate your knowledge. Grades may be lowered for answers
that so violate fundamental rules of grammar and style that the reader's ability to
comprehend the content is impaired. The questions will be graded on the quality of
analysis, thought and conclusions, not on the number of words.
5. The multiple choice questions are to be answered on the scantron. FAILURE TO
RETURN THE MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS WILL RESULT IN FAILURE
IN THE COURSE.
6. For the exam, you may use:
a) the FRCP supplement;
b) the Arkansas supplement, but you may write only on the front;
c) 25 pages of notes or materials: letter size, one side only, any font, any
source, any material.
7. Turn your bluebooks, multiple choice questions, scantrons, pencils and qualification sheet
in by the time posted at the front of the room. You may keep the essay question.
8. If you have questions about the content or wording of any part of the examination, see me
during the examination.
