ExamSoft Information

We offer JD, LLM and Exchange students who have a PC-compatible laptop that meets certain minimum specifications the option to take their in-class final exams on their laptops. Students who elect this option use software called SofTest from the company ExamSoft Worldwide. The software blocks access to all applications and stored files during the exam administration, and blocks access to the Internet and instant messenger. Over 135 law schools in the U.S. and Canada and over 30 state bars are using SofTest with excellent results.

Unfortunately, at this time SofTest may be used only on a PC and is not compatible with any Macintosh operating system, nor may it be used with PC emulation software. We will continue testing SofTest on the new Intel based Mac computers running with Windows XP under BootCamp. We will not be able to offer this option for Fall 2007.

Fall 2007 ExamSoft Registration:

Registration for Fall 2007 exams for new and returning users begins October 15 and will run through November 9, 2007 for LL.M. in American Law, LL.M. in IP and Exchange Students..
