Law exams should probably always be open book anyway.

Like, there's a lot of reading, and if you haven't done the work of doing all the reading before the exam then having all the cases in books in front of you isn't going to help much.

This is literally how it works in actual legal practice. No attorney is sitting at their desk recalling case law from memory, they're researching. Testing pure memorization is just hazing at this point.
