Nova Southeastern Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Nova Southeastern 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:
I feel that Law Preview set me apart from the rest of the class because I knew what to expect before I even started school. Many of the cases we read and briefed for class I had already an understanding of because we had gone over them in Law Preview. It also helped me with time management and balancing all the work that is expected during first year. I felt more comfortable starting law school because I knew what I was about to encounter. I am in the top 1% of first year class and I strongly believe it was due in part to the skills I learned through Law Preview. I would highly recommend law preview to anyone entering law school. [Ranked #3 out of 317 after first semester]
As a single mother of a preschool child and returning student, Law Preview enabled me to determine what the essential skills needed to get through law school were. My goal, unlike many colleagues, was not to make the top 10%, although Law Preview provided me with those skills. I made the choice to put in the work necessary to keep me going through school with an average GPA, while making time for what was just as important--raising a precocious 5 year old. I learned to prioritize my time, 'clear the deck' before school began, and was given an edge in learning how to brief cases. I am now a rising 2L with a judicial internship and 2 additional second year courses already under my belt based on summer school. I would not have been as prepared to get through law school without Law Preview, and I recommend the course to any nontraditional (if there is such a thing) law student.
