Listen to the Sum and Substance series , which has detailed lectures in more than twenty areas of law. Access them through our West Study Aids subscription or borrow the CDs from the library.

CALI has wonderful online, interactive exercises to help you test and review your knowledge for your 1L classes – they’re also great practice as you prepare for exams. (New students will get a CALI registration code before the start of classes.)

Many professors post copies of exam questions from previous years in our past exams database . Use these exams to practice test-taking and gauge your knowledge of the subject.

SeRiouS was created by a Suffolk Law School professor to increase memory retention and maximize performance on law school and bar exams. All Suffolk Law School students can set up an account for free.
