University of Akron School of Law 1L Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at The University of Akron 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:
Taking Law Preview not only gave me a great introduction to the basic first year law courses, it also gave me a realistic perspective of the kind of work that is required to finish in the top 10% of my class. I was able to land a job with a large firm after my first year and am currently preparing myself for a very successful career in law.
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.
