Software for Exams

Approved laptops have been pretested and certified to work with Examplify, a program used by students to take examinations. Only laptops that support Examplify may be used during examinations. Students who wish to use non-approved laptops to take exams must bear the responsibility to confirm that Examplify functions properly on their computers. All students may go to the HelpDesk for assistance with this task.

Word Processing (Provided by BYU)

The 1st year Legal Research and Writing Course uses the collaborative editing features of Microsoft Word versions 2010 and later. All writing assignments that will be critiqued in your 1st year writing class need to be in a MS Word format. Failure to acquire a word processor that can recognize Word’s reviewing features (Track Changes and Comments) would prevent a student from receiving valuable feedback. BYU provides four free years of Microsoft Office 365 through you BYU email account. Information here.

BriefCatch

BriefCatch is a legal editing tool that is an add-on to Microsoft Word. For access please reach out to Prof. Gerdy Kyle.
