<p>Getting to Maybe: How to Excel on Law School Exams has been the best-selling book on law exams since its original publication in 1999. It appears on summer reading lists at countless law schools, and professors often recommend it in first-year courses. What sets it apart from its competitors is its frank recognition that law exams test legal reasoning and that legal reasoning cannot be reduced to any simple "check the boxes" template. Yet law students give it high marks because it avoids abstruse lectures and instead offers a clear, readable, and often humorous guide to how lawyers and judges deploy legal reasoning in real-world disputes and how law professors test such disputes―and the reasoning required to resolve them―on law exams.<br />
It's therefore the best resource available for helping students successfully make the transition from undergraduate studies―where exams frequently call for "right answers"―to law school, where exams reward students for "getting to maybe" and mobilizing persuasive arguments on multiple sides of legal problems. Responding to reader feedback, the authors offer a much-anticipated second edition with new material focusing on exam preparation; drafting successful exam answers while avoiding common mistakes; and tackling multiple-choice questions.</p>

Xyloglucans and rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II) are fucosylated cell wall compounds and play crucial roles in plant development. One aim of this work was to better understand xyloglucan modification or degradation, and more specifically to get information on enzyme(s) responsible for the removal of L-fucose residue present on this polysaccharide. Two candidates were investigated, AtFUC95A and AtFXG1, which have been described as xyloglucan-specific α1,2-fucosidases, even though they are phylogenetically not related. Both were investigated in Arabidopsis knockout mutants as well as by transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana on biochemical and analytical levels. The second structure, RG-II, was investigated in terms of structural diversity and biosynthesis. To gain a better understanding of its biosynthesis, the focus has been addressed against identification of potential RG-II-specific fucosyltransferases. Generation of plants defective in GDP-L-fucose or GDP-L-galactose biosynthesis contributed to a better understanding of effects of changes on RG-II, leading to a re-evaluation of the reason causing the strong phenotype of the highly studied L-fucose-deficient mutant mur1.
