Hypotheticals

Making use of hypotheticals throughout the semester is one of the best ways to prepare for exams - this does not mean waiting until the last minute, but working hypos throughout the course of the semester and whenever you finish a topic in class. Working though problems along the way is an effective tool for mastering a subject and determining whether or not you really understand the subject - if you are working on hypos as the semester progresses, you will have time to find answers to the questions that inevitably will arise when you learn new material, instead of cramming at the last minute. Many subsequent posts will reiterate the importance of hypos, and ways to successfully work through hypos, but it is important to mention from the outset that there is a database of hypos available to you (see www.tourolaw.edu/adp [password required]).
