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

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

On the first day of law school classes, I felt completely prepared for the experience. I was already ahead of most of my class in knowing how to brief a case, create an outline, and take lecture notes that would help me prepare for exams. I also had a unique understanding of the subject material in my first year classes due to the fantastic road map provided by each of my Law Preview professors. I'm currently ranked #1 out of 320 students and I don't think I would be having nearly the academic success that I'm having today without the solid grounding that Law Preview provided. I can't say enough good things about my Law Preview experience -- it was worth every dime and a whole lot more. It may be the best kept secret for how to prepare and succeed in law school!

The Law Preview course definitely gave me an edge in my first semester classes. I went in to each class having a general idea of what to expect and how to consider the material presented. The amount of information thrown at us could get so overwhelming at times, but with my notes from Law Preview I was able to focus on what was most relevant. The exam taking tips were very helpful as well. They helped me organize my exam preparation materials and manage my time while taking the exams. My school provides written evaluations rather than grades but I got the equivalent of A- in three of my four classes. In the fourth, I got the equivalent of an A. Based on my performance, I have already been hired by a judge for the summer!
