Ohio Northern University Law School

Ohio Northern Law Students

First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Ohio Northern University College 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 Ohio Northern University Law Students Say

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

I want to thank you for creating the Law Preview course. I know and can say without a doubt that the Law Preview class is responsible for me being in the position that I am today. I received the best grades that I have every received in school… EVER. I believe that this is because the Law Preview class provided me with a basic understanding of each of the major courses, but more importantly informed me of the amount of work that would be required. Further, the course provided a game plan that was easy to follow and has been proven to work. Had the course not stress the importance of reading and briefing every case assigned and to start studying early, I probably would have simply cut corners and would have been only hurting myself and would be deep in the 1L pack. Yet, because of the course I am out in front of the pack hoping to extend my lead even further in the spring semester. I have been able to create a nice safety net, which will relieve the anxiety, for keeping my scholarship and have positioned myself to be eligible to receive more. Further, I made the dean’s list. I cannot even adequately express my thanks for creating this course. [Ranked #4 out of 118 students].

Law Preview made me feel much more confident about facing my first semester of law school. It taught me how to prepare for class, review materials, and study for exams. I credit Law Preview with helping me to place in the top 10% of my class after the first semester.

I graded on! I attended the Chicago session last summer. I was awfully apprehensive about starting law school at age 52, competing with kids who hadn't started becoming senile yet. The course gave both the skills I needed and the confidence to hit the ground running. I've actually enjoyed my first year at Ohio Northern, and the invitation to join Law Review was such a thrill. Thanks for your help.
