William & Mary Law School - W&M Law

William & Mary Law Students

First-year grades are important -- very important. Your 1L grades at William & Mary 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 William & Mary Law School Students Say

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

Because I wasn't a government major as an undergraduate, and didn't take any of the traditional 'pre-law' type classes I was a little intimidated about the first year of law school. Law Preview helped to ease my tension and helped me to feel confident going in, as I had been introduced to all the major topics we would address and had some foundational knowledge to build on. I think the best things Law Preview can give an incoming 1L are confidence and a foundation of knowledge on which to build a successful first year.

Having just finished my first semester at William & Mary School of Law, the only thing that I can think to say is THANK YOU!!! I just received my grades and was completely shocked (and thrilled) to see a GPA of 3.93 with 3 As and 1 A-! I took your Law Preview course last summer in Los Angeles and all of the basics that you emphasized were tremendously helpful . . . thanks for all of your help in preparing for my first semester of law school.
