Vanderbilt Law Students

First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Vanderbilt University Law School 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.

What Vanderbilt University Law School Students Say

More than 99% of our surveyed customers have said Law Preview met or exceeded their expectations:

On the first day of law school classes, I felt completely prepared for the experience. I was already ahead of most of my class in knowing how to brief a case, create an outline, and take lecture notes that would help me prepare for exams. I also had a unique understanding of the subject material in my first year classes due to the fantastic road map provided by each of my Law Preview professors. I'm currently ranked #1 out of 320 students and I don't think I would be having nearly the academic success that I'm having today without the solid grounding that Law Preview provided. I can't say enough good things about my Law Preview experience -- it was worth every dime and a whole lot more. It may be the best kept secret for how to prepare and succeed in law school!

Law Preview was an enormous help. I went in with a clear advantage over most other students since I already knew how to read and brief cases, the point of the Socratic method, how to take notes, how to outline, AND how to take exams. This saved me hours of time and was, I believe, instrumental in my first semster GPA of 3.86. That GPA placed me on the right track for the rest of my law school experience, which has included an internship on a Circuit Court of Appeals, Law Review, and several V10 firm offers. I could have done this without Law Preview, but it definitely would have been a lot harder.
