Legal Information Resources (STA): Exams

This subject guide profiles legal information resources that are available via The Alma Jordan Library (AJL), Campus Libraries, The University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine Campus (STA).

Exams: Past Papers (UWI – STA)

The Alma Jordan Library's (AJL) collection includes past examination papers. 

The Library's database of past papers includes only papers that are either sent from Exams Registry or the individual departments.

Past Papers with Multiple Choice and/or True/False questions will not be included.

If you are NOT finding recent papers, it means the Library did not receive them. As soon as we receive papers from the Examinations Section, they will be uploaded.

Exams: Past Papers (UWI – Other Campus)

Given the history of the Faculties of Law (UWI) and the synergies across and within programmes, the past examination papers from other Campuses (UWI), may be of interest.
