Wisconsin Jurisdictional Exam Review
Wis Jurisdictional Exam information at the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS).
Presentation Material
The following weren't included as seminar handouts due to their size. If you're taking the exam either download & print these, or purchase their equivalent from WSLS.
- Surveying related Statutes (88 pages)
- Surveying related Admin Code (41 pages)
The exam is open-book, but the DSPS does not state if the materials have to be bound. Years ago they never allowed loose-leaf references, not even in ring binders. Play it on the safe side and bind your loose stuff - an easy way is using an ACCO binder, like this.
While not needed for the exam, if you plan on practicing in Wisconsin, Wisonsin Water Law is a useful addition to your library.
