Problem Sets

From the Prof

The Yeazell casebook contains numerous sets of Problems, typically designed to work you through a basic understanding of one or more statutes or Federal Rules. In most cases, if you work through them on your own, little class discussion of the problems will be required, and we can use class discussion for other purposes. I have therefore set them up as web-based problem sets. You will do the questions on-line before class. I will post answers after the deadline for submission, and we'll talk about any areas that caused particular difficulty. The problems from the casebook are assigned on the course schedule. After the link to each of these problem sets I have noted the corresponding page from Yeazell.

In addition, I have updated some old problem sets given to me by a former colleague that you can use for review at your convenience.

Because we have a large number of Problem sets, we have set them up on three different pages, by topic.

Why on-line? you may ask. Among other things, doing them on-line generates a question by question printed list of the answers you submitted. That allows me to review them quickly to see how you are doing.
