UC Davis (King Hall) Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at the University of California - Davis 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.

As an undergraduate, I relied on my ability to BS and learn quickly to get decent grades. I never developed good study habits or much discipline. Needless to say, I knew that I was going to be in for a world of hurt if I didn't do something to get ready for law school. Law Preview was the perfect something. After the first semester, I have a 3.74 and a great plan for academic success. It started with knowing what I was getting myself into, which the pre-course reading really helped with. Then it meant getting a basic grasp of the material, so that I could actually engage in school from day one, without the panic. The time in the program with the professors really helped build that basic understanding. Lastly, it meant knowing how, what, and when to study. The course, the materials, the advise, the follow-up emails, I couldn't say enough good things about how all of this truly useful and concrete information transformed my approach to school. At law school, you will hear a ton of advice, from students, from professors, from lawyers, from other companies. The Law Preview approach is the one: work hard, work smart. I didn't waste much time at all figuring out how to get started, and I used my exam time efficiently. I even slept well most nights. So, thank you so much for a great program.
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.
