Loyola-Chicago Law Students


First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Loyola 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 Loyola University Chicago School of Law Students Say

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

I felt I was definitely more prepared at the beginning of the semester when a lot of people wondered what a case brief was and what IRAC stood for whereas I could focus on the substantive courses because Law Preview taught me how to approach briefing and exam taking. The exam-taking strategies and advice from the professors were especially helpful. It's like I knew what it took to get an 'A". Thank you. [Ranked #15 out of 166 after first semester].

Thank you so much! My first semester went so great! The semester reaffirmed for me that I definitely want to be a lawyer. Loyola is a great fit for me and the semester was not as scary as many of the rumors I heard may it seem like it was. Law Preview was a big reason why I think the first semester was not as scary as expected because I was able to hit the ground running with my briefs, outlines, and studying, while my other colleagues were still figuring out how to read a case. I was able to come to school having knowledge as to what to expect and it put me at ease and allowed me to concentrate on studying instead of figuring out how to study. I would recommend Law Preview to anyone coming to law school and have already suggested it to some friends of mine that are considering law school.

Law Preview told me what I need to do to succeed. It was a long, tough road, but sticking to a set plan, mainly devised by Law Preview, I did extremely well. Thanks to Law Preview, I am ranked in the top 6% and made it on to Law Journal. Because of my first year success I am currently looking at top firms to interview with in the Fall as part of OCI. Law Preview gave me that extra edge I needed to get to where I am.
