USC Law Students


First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at University of Southern California - Gould 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 helped me feel more confident beginning law school, making the transition much smoother [ranked #20 out of 200 after first semester]!

Law Preview was one of the best things I could have done before coming to law school. It prepared me and gave me a set schedule to follow. I ended the first semester with all A's and I received the highest grade in one of my classes. Law Preview gives you the tools you need to do well your first semester by outlining exactly what you need to do to be at the top of your class. I think it is a definite necessity to anyone entering law school.

I wanted to thank you for Law Preview last year. I have now completed my first year at the University of Southern California Law School, and it has clearly had a huge impact! While my classmates were panicking and struggling to get oriented, I already had a big-picture view of the courses, which allowed me to really focus in on the important issues! The knowledge I gained from Law Preview, combined with the advice I followed, allowed me to have a much more productive, enjoyable, and stress-free first-year experience.
