Chapman University School of Law Students


First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Chapman University School 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.

What Chapman University School of Law Students Say

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

Thank you Law Preview!! I know that I could not have done as well as I did without your program. I tried to stay as close to the schedule as possible (staying ahead on my reading, briefing every case, taking practice exams) and it really paid off [ranked #1]. I would recommend this program to anyone who is entering law school.

—Catherine T., Chapman University School of Law, Class of 2009

The instructors at the Law Preview program were right-on with their recommendations for test taking and studying. Putting to use their techniques helped me to keep on track and schedule throughout the year and when studying for finals. If nothing else, the Law Preview course gives you an accurate preview of what to expect during your first year in law school, which by itself is worth the cost of attending the program.
