Aspen Learning Library includes Examples & Explanations, Emmanuel Crunchtime, Emmanuel Law Outlines, Glannon Guides, and others.
LexisNexis Digital Library/Carolina Academic Press includes the Understanding, Mastering, and Question & Answers series.

CALI Lessons
CALI has over 1,000 online, interactive tutorials covering narrow topics of law for a wide range of 1L and 2L-3L courses, including a tutorial on how to prepare for exams. To access CALI tutorials, you first need to register with an Authorization Code that you can get from the Law Library Reference Office (625-4309 or law-ref@umn.edu).Are there sample exams or model answers available from my professor?
First, check your course Canvas site or ask your professor
to see if they will be making them available.
Faculty members will sometimes provide copies of past exams
for the Law Library to place in binders that students can access at the
Circulation Desk. However, it is much more common now for faculty members to
post exams to Canvas.
