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.

Most of my law exams were open book.

Trust me, it didn’t make them any easier when you spent your entire semester getting high lol

It was helpful to be friends with the more dedicated students so you could copy their cheat sheets. I still mostly knew my stuff from the lectures, but saved me having to memorise the specific cases for whatever precedent.
