UC Berkeley (Boalt Hall) Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at UC Berkeley 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.

The best thing about Law Preview is the tips that they give you about managing your time. I followed the plan to the letter. I only briefed and read for the first six weeks and then after that, I began outlining and preparing for exams. It worked! I ended up in the top 5-10% of my class, even winning awards for the highest grade in my section. Also, it was helpful to go into the first semester having already read some of the most important cases and having been introduced to some of the key subjects. I honestly think it was the smartest thing I did all year.
I am so thankful that I took the Law Preview class. Law school is hard work, but it is doable with the proper tools. I was able to get the tools for the first year from the one week class. This class should be mandatory to all entering 1Ls.
