George Mason Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at George Mason 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.
More than 99% of our surveyed customers have said Law Preview met or exceeded their expectations:
Law Preview provided me with a distinct advantage in the fall semester as I had a general knowledge of all the 1L courses, and was able to put the cases we read into a meaningful context. In addition, because GMU doesn't teach Civil Procedure until the Spring I had a significant advantage over my peers due to the background provided by Law Preview. While I would have excelled even without the Law Preview Course, I suspect the course helped me place first in my class. Due to my stellar 1L performance, I will be completing my J.D. at Yale Law School.
Grades are out for the year and I'm ranked in the top 10% (almost top 5% -- 9/156), which amazes me considering how smart everyone in my class is. I really think the Law Preview advice helped me study smart and capitalize on every strategy to get that all important advantage on tests. I would recommend Law Preview to any student about to start law school, or even considering whether to go at all . . . [Law Preview] really helped calm my nerves and let me know what to expect in the first year of law school. I've been out of school for 10 years and was really worried about figuring out how to study again. I also have a young daughter and was not sure how I was going to be able to compete with all the young people with no responsibilities. Law Preview not only taught me how to study, but helped me to actually enjoy my first year of law school!
