McGeorge Law Students

First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at UOP's McGeorge 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.

I think it was pretty helpful. I ended up transferring from UOP-McGeorge to UC Davis.

Attending Law Preview is one of the BEST decisions I made for my academic career! The knowledge I gained in just one week at Law Preview was absolutely crucial to my early success in law school. I received invaluable advice on how to prioritize and budget my time, and I was prepared for what to expect from my classes and exams. Most importantly, I entered my first year with an inner-confidence that saved me from a significant majority of the stress that my peers were experiencing first semester. The guidance I received from Law Preview was a major factor in my ability to attain first and second year honors, make law review, and eventually end up a department chief on the law review's Board of Editors. By knowing what to expect out of law school, I was able to hit the ground running straight for the prize, rather than running in circles. THANK YOU!!!
