Albany Law School

Albany Law School of Union University Law Students

First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Albany Law School will not only determine your eligibility for law review and other honors, but will dictate what job opportunities are available when you graduate. This is because the most selective legal employers recruit law students at the beginning of their second year, and they often will only interview law students who finished at the top of their 1L class. Given the staggering cost of a legal education, and a highly competitive legal hiring market, adopting a trial-and-error approach as a 1L is a flawed strategy. Learn why preparing for the challenges you will face during your first year of law school can help protect the substantial investment you are about to make in your legal education.

What Albany Law Students Say

More than 99% of our surveyed customers have said Law Preview met or exceeded their expectations:

I can't tell you how much I appreciated Law Preview. I was only accepted to Albany off the waitlist in early June 2009, and I wasn't feeling too great about my prospects for success. Now, after having completed my 1L year, I'm proud to report that I ranked #19 out of 250 students. Beyond preparing me for the substantive classes, LP helped me gain confidence and avoid the potholes that challenge every 1L no matter where they go to school. I definitely feel that Law Preview also gave me a leg up on my classmates in a number of ways -- whether it was briefing cases or putting together an effective study schedule -- Law Preview removed a lot of the trial and error and I entered my first year with a plan of attack and that was without question a major factor in my success.

Law Preview did all it advertised it would: introduced the basic foundations of not only the different law disciplines, but the foundations for thinking like a law student. The faculty were excellent.
