St. Mary's Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at St. Mary's 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.

Law Preview was tremendous in helping me shoot out of the gate strong. From the first day I walked on campus I had a plan and a purpose thanks to LP. In addition to the organizational and structural advantages I had thanks to the schedule and preparation materials, I left LP with a sense of confidence. Law Preview really helped be "demystify" the law, in breaking it down into something practical and manageable. I also believe that the long hours during the program set my expectations for the amount of time and effort I needed to be successful, which led to a smooth and natural transition into the real thing. I would recommend this program to anyone who is entering law school, especially in this market where grades are EVERYTHING. [Ranked 5 out of 339].
I believe Law Preview made all the difference in my law school performance. I definitely had a head start on all my classmates, and the plan Law Preview laid out was an excellent resource. I followed the schedule very closely, and the hard work paid off. My gpa is currently a 3.8, I've already been asked by one professor to work as her research assistant next year, and three different professors have told me to expect an invitation to join the law journal. Without Law Preview, I highly doubt I would have been as successful. Thank you!
