Biotech Torts Review Questions - Winter 2002
Another old exam, with some hints on important points you should cover.
Health Care Tort Law Winter 2001 Course #514 - Exam Key
Remember, this course covers different materials and in a different way. I will be asking you to apply law and use what you have learned. Since the exam is open book, you do not need to memorize. You do need to be very familiar with the law - the exam is the wrong place to read the materials the first or even the second time.
