Villanova Law Students
First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at Villanova 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.

I think Law Preview's biggest affect in my law school experience was how they provided you a schedule to stick with, and provided a great tutorial on exam taking. Everyone learns the substantive material differently, but you have to be able to put that information on paper at exam time. I never felt as though I grasped the material better than other students, but I think that my approach to the exams helped me perform. [Ranked #2 out of 251 students].
I think it showed me not so much of the mechanical tools (briefing, etc) but more of a nice lay of the land, and some other useful tips to get a head start [Ranked #10 out of 256 after first semester].
I am positive that I was neither the smartest person in the class nor the hardest worker. While I did work hard and feel that I am smart, I believe that one of the biggest reasons for my success was that I knew how to take a law school exam. As others in my class took law school exams for the first time first semester and often repeated their mistakes during second semester, I confidently utilized the tools Law Preview provided me. This ability, perhaps more than anything else, is responsible for me being among the top handful of students in my class [#5 out of 243].
[Law Preview] gave an excellent overview of briefing cases and introduction to the various first year courses. Highly recommended to avoid the "panic" of preparing your first law school brief for homework. [Rank 12 out of 243].
