Rutgers Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Rutgers 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:
We are not given our class rankings - but I received high honors my second semester. Law Preview was essentially a mini 1L experience over the course of several days. This provided a frame of reference which illustrated not only what could be expected in terms of the academic content of the classes but also what the most effective study habits were for conquering the material and all important final exam essays.
Rutgers doesnt rank [after first semester]. Based on my GPA, I'm probably top 15%. Law Preview helped give an overview of the substantive areas, sampling of the Socratic method, practical advice about how to approach law school, especially the study calendar.
