Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry about giving open book 
tests in undergrad Legal Environment courses.  This approach appears 
to be fairly widespread and is used in conjunction with primarily 
application type questions.  As I would predict, it apparently it 
works best when the professor warns the students that the open book 
format does not obviate the need for students to study before the 
exam.

Your responses have been very helpful as I consider the best ways to 
make improvements to my course.
