Sample Preliminary Exam

Exam; Sample Answers.

I expect to distribute the Prelim Exam sometime in early October. It will consist of approximately 5-7 questions. You will have a week to complete it. It will cover the first three parts of the course--Relevancy, Witnesses, and Impeachment.

Above is the prelim exam and the sample answers from the Fall 2025 Prelim. This will give you a basic idea of the structure of the exam and what I am looking for in answers.
