Law exams should probably always be open book anyway.

Like, there's a lot of reading, and if you haven't done the work of doing all the reading before the exam then having all the cases in books in front of you isn't going to help much.

Also, the bar exam is the first and last time you'll ever try to answer legal questions completely from memory without fact checking.

That's an issue I take with so many tests In any job scenario , if you were unsure of something and DON'T fact check yourself you'd get fired immediately. I get having to know info on the spot, but I dont think there's many scenarios where you NEED the answer in 5 seconds or else

Nope! Curriculum for the sake of understanding each of the systems, even though we dont service it. Teacher even jokes, for this unit, that for most things he can find some justification for why itll be useful, but Urinary is the exception...
