University of Texas (UT) Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at University of Texas 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 instrumental to my first-semester success at UT where I earned a 4.26 GPA. The Law Preview materials were terrific! In fact, there were many occasions when my assigned readings for law school included cases that I had previously studied at Law Preview. I learned how to read judicial opinions and brief cases at Law Preview, and those skills proved to be invaluable. Most importantly, Law Preview helped me design a solid study plan, and I was able to maintain focus throughout the semester.
I had a plan from the beginning and the confidence in knowing that I could truly succeed if I stuck to it. When other students didn't know what was going on and trying to figure things out, I was already reading, outlining and reviewing materials to prepare for my exams. My hard work and the preparation I received during my week at Law Preview really paid off -- I finished my first semester with a 3.91 GPA
It helped me feel more confident and prepared in starting that that feeling helped me stay a step ahead throughout. After Thanksgiving my peers were freaking out and I kept with my plan of slow and steady. I was really pleased with my performance the first semester. After first semester, I know a few things that I will be changing for the second semester. However, a large percentage of the successful skills I employed first semester, I learned at Law Preview.
