II. Bound examinations, 1970 - 1971

 File — Container: Volume 19

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Between 1952 and 2004, the University of Virginia Law Library created 47 bound volumes of past examinations given in Law School courses. Most volumes contain tables of contents that list the name of the courses, the date of the examination, and the name of the instructor. Course instructors periodically transferred the examinations to the Library so that students could use them as study materials. The Library kept the examinations on reserve and classified them with the "VL 13" number until 2018.

The bound examination book for Fall 1984-Spring 1985 (Item ID: 3305355-10001) was missing from the Law Library as of 2024.

Conditions Governing Access

The conditions governing access vary across the series. There are no restrictions on access to the examinations of deceased professors. However, access to the examinations of living professors is restricted. Researchers must first obtain written permission from living professors to view them. After a researcher presents written permission to the University of Virginia Law Library, the Library may allow them to view the examination in the special collections reading room. Researchers may take written notes, but the Library prohibits photography or scanning. Researchers may not borrow examinations or view them outside of the special collections reading room.

A few living professors have waived the requirement for written permission. Waivers are recorded in a conditions governing access note attached to the examination records in this finding aid.
