Impeachment and the Constitution: What Does It Say?
Does the Constitution give insight into whether the President can be impeached? Are the recent lawsuits for impeachment viable? The Con Law Fellows welcome you to come discuss this hot topic!
When: Wednesday, November 29th 12:15 – 1:15
Where: Veteran’s Lounge, 2nd floor library
The Office of Academic Success is hosting a series of simulated exams for each of the substantive first-year classes.
This series is intended to give students the opportunity to practice answering exam questions in a timed classroom setting. The simulated exam questions have been developed by our ASP Fellows in conjunction with the professors for your first-year classes. So this is a very good opportunity to get practice in answering the types of questions your particular professors will ask.
The simulated exam schedule is as follows:
Monday, November 27 Civil Procedure
Tuesday, November 28 Torts
Wednesday, November 29 Contracts
Thursday, November 30 Property
All simulated exams will be held from 5:00 to 6:00 pm in room L 180.
The simulated exam questions will also be posted on the TWEN page associated with ASP group study sessions. So if you missed the first simulated exam on Monday, you can access the questions there.
Sample answers will also be posted on TWEN. Please use these to assess your work on the simulated questions.
