Electronic Study Aids

The Law Library offers electronic access to the West Academic Study Aids (WASA). WASA provides you with remote, 24/7 access to study aids to help you prepare and study for your classes. WASA is separate from Westlaw, the legal research database. 

Need Exam prep? Look for these popular series, Step-by-Step, Exam Pro, Flash Cards, and Acing, to help build your exam skills.

Want help outlining cases? Review the Black Letter Law series and Gilbert Law Summaries.

Need a topical overview? See the Nutshell series or Concise Hornbooks.

Want more analysis of a topic? Consult West Hornbooks or the Concept and Insights series.

Looking for tips on case briefing? Check High Court Case Summaries and Legalines.

Prefer audio lectures? Listen to the Law School Legends Audio or Sum & Substance Audio series.

You can also browse topics and find e-books on introductions to law school, bar exam prep, and career prep.
