American University - Washington College of Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at American University-Washington College of Law 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.
More than 99% of our surveyed customers have said Law Preview met or exceeded their expectations:
We do not rank until the end of the first year, but my GPA is 3.82 (around top 5%). Law Preview was a great warm up for my courses. It familiarized me with much of the legal terminology . . . and I found the test taking tips from professors especially helpful. However, the biggest advantaged derived from the course is probably confidence. There is no time to waste in law school wavering on study strategies, and I felt I went in with a winning strategy in hand.
Law Preview (LP) affected my experience profoundly. I followed LP's dictates with religious fervor. I believe it worked. Without it, I would not have started outlining as early, structured my time as rigorously, or put so much time into studying.
