The law library provides access to past exams given in the law school, when available. Some professors don’t provide access to past exams through the law library. If you are unable to locate exams for your professors, please check with them.
Visit the Law Library’s TWEN page to obtain the Exams Archive Google Drive link. Please note that you will need to add the Law Library as a course on TWEN.
You must be logged into Google with your CUA username and password to view the Exams Archive folder. Contact csl-ref@cua.edu with questions.
The Virtual Exam Review system allows law students to request their own exam submission and, if available, the exam questions/prompts and any other supplementary or explanatory material made available by the faculty (e.g. model answers).
While requests can be submitted at any time, the Law Library is only able to respond to requests M-F 10am-6pm. In order to comply with University policies regarding student records, responses to requests will only be sent to cua.edu email addresses. Access will expire at 11:59pm (EST) two days after you receive the documents. If you need access after the time has expired please submit another request through TWEN. The downloading, copying, printing or sharing of any documents received through this system is not permitted.
Visit the Law Library’s TWEN page to submit a request. Please note that you will need to add the Law Library as a course on TWEN. Some professors don't use this system for exam review. Contact your professor if you don't see your class listed on the request form.
