Valparaiso Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Valparaiso University 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 was very helpful in my first year. I went in with an idea of what to expect and what it would take to do well in school. Looking back on the semester, I was surprised to see just how accurate Law Preview was in thier observation of how students would be applying themselves and how students would act in the first semester. When making my decisions of what to do when it came to studying and extra curricular activities, I'm really glad I had a heads-up from Law Preview. I would recommend Law Preview to anyone planning to go to law school or even just considering law school--that one week in the summer is very realistic as to the work load, peers, and expectations. Thank you Law Preview!
Law Preview helped to explain the big picture that each case and rule is designed to fit into. I was better prepared and knew what to expect from my classes, my professors, and most of all what I should expect from myself. I knew how to prepare for class and how to accurately brief a case even before classes started thanks to Law Preview. The helpful hints, especially regarding study skills and exam taking, gave me an advantage over fellow classmates. I definitely was more prepared and caught on more quickly than some of the other students.
