While your notes and professor\u2019s explanations should always be your primary source of information, study aids can help supplement your understanding and help you test your knowledge. And the Library has a boatload of these resources!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">One study aid that has been a staple in law school libraries for many years is the <strong>Nutshell<\/strong> series published by West. Nutshells are compact guides that provide a succinct, yet thorough overview of a particular area of the law with an emphasis on key cases and statutes. Nutshells can be a good starting point when you need to review an area of law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">The Library has a multitude of books in the Nutshell series, from <em>Administrative Law and Process in a Nutshell<\/em> to <em>Wills and Trusts in a Nutshell<\/em> and everything in between (including required course topics!).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">The newest editions are available in the Library\u2019s Reserve Collection. To check one of these out, just ask at the Circulation Desk. All reserve copies are available for 2-hour check outs. Older editions, located in the Lower Level stacks, can be checked out for longer. If you would like help finding a copy, don\u2019t hesitate to ask!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/Admiralty-nutshell.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1499 alignleft\" src=\"\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/Admiralty-nutshell-269x300.jpg\" alt=\"Admiralty in a Nutshell book on top of a boat\" width=\"269\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/Admiralty-nutshell-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/Admiralty-nutshell-768x857.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/Admiralty-nutshell.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/vg-law-nutshell.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1500 alignright\" src=\"\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/vg-law-nutshell-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/vg-law-nutshell-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/vg-law-nutshell-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/vg-law-nutshell-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/vg-law-nutshell.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Study aids are used to help you enhance your understanding of concepts taught in the classroom.
