It’s almost that time of year again: Finals.
As you edit your outlines and start doing practice problems, don’t forget that the Library has resources to help.
One resource the Library has? Study aids. Study aids are used to help you enhance your understanding of concepts taught in the classroom. While your notes and professor’s explanations should always be your primary source of information, study aids can help supplement your understanding and help you test your knowledge.
This week we are highlighting the Skills & Values series.
The Skills & Values series are study aids that incorporate legal and analytical skills into the substantive area of law.
Each chapter includes a short introduction of the topic area followed by a series of problems and exercises that address the analytical components of the topic. The exercises are set in different practice areas that you might encounter as a lawyer. These exercises help reinforce your knowledge of the law and at the same time help connect your classroom studies with real-life problems.
The Library has Skills & Values available both in print and digitally.
The print editions are located in the Lower Level stacks. If you would like help finding a copy, or would like to check one out remotely, don’t hesitate to ask! Email circulation@mitchellhamline.edu for more information.
