Mercer University Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Mercer 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.

It was very helpful to know in advance what means of study would work and which alternative methods have less chance of succeeding. A lot of classmates had to try the other avenues for themselves (to their detriment) - while I had someone give me the recipe ahead of time. The key skill-set we learned at Law Preview was setting a work schedule that was demanding yet realistic at the same time. Many of my peers simply got lost in the overwhelming workload. Also, Don framed the bigger picture of law school and the entry into the legal profession. That was motivating on the one hand while it also served as warning.[Graduated #1 in his law school class].
Law Preview gave me the foundation I needed to attack the law school challenge at its onset. It was very refreshing to read cases that I had already read before or to hear terms in class that I already knew. I followed much of Law Preview's advice as far as staying on top of things and continuing daily class preparation. I ended up in the top 15% of my class, and I am very happy about how things turned out. I will continue to use the lessons Law Preview taught me in the upcoming semester, and I am hopeful for an equally satisfying second semester.
It was good coming into law school with an idea of what to expect. Aside from being familiar with some of the substantive material covered in class first semester, it was helpful knowing what to expect from the law school experience. There were multiple occasions during the semester when I found myself looking back on the notes I had taken at law preview for clarification on different things. All in all Law Preview was a great experience [ranked #25 out of 144 after first semester].
