I felt that Law Preview was a real asset as far as informing us on how much work is required to do well. I know a lot of fellow students studied the same as they did in college and they did not do as well. Also, the classes were very helpful in giving us a taste of what we were about to get into. I know that I was far more prepared than most on the first day due to the fact that I had some exposure to the course material during the Law Preview class. I know that I would not have done as well if it were not for Law Preview. It really informed me about what was required and how to manage my time.

Law Preview did all it advertised it would: introduced the basic foundations of not only the different law disciplines, but the foundations for thinking like a law student. The faculty were excellent.

Law Preview provided an outstanding overview that helped me get a handle the 1L material as I progressed through my first two semesters, rather than having to structure everything at the end, while under exam pressure. Having that preliminary structure in my head was a bit like having my entire outline prepared before starting class.

The Law Preview course was extremely helpful in introducing the legal terminology that we learned during many of our first year courses. Therefore, having heard the terms once before I felt a familiarity with them and many of the cases that we studied as well which made the overall study of the course easier. Thanks Law Preview!

Law Preview helped me get good perspective on the road ahead. Law Preview helped explain and set out what I needed to do to do well in law school. Some 1L students undoubtedly worked very hard but did not get the best results. Law Preview gave me a five foot head start on the rest of my 1L class. There is no doubt in my mind many of my peers had superior intelligence to mine and but I was always on top of my classwork, reading and scheduling for exams. Law Preview helps one keep the end in sight all the way from week one to week 15. With hard work and the head start Law Preview provides I was able to end my first year in the top 10% of my class.

We do not rank until the end of the first year, but my GPA is 3.82 (around top 5%). Law Preview was a great warm up for my courses. It familiarized me with much of the legal terminology . . . and I found the test taking tips from professors especially helpful. However, the biggest advantaged derived from the course is probably confidence. There is no time to waste in law school wavering on study strategies, and I felt I went in with a winning strategy in hand.

Law Preview helped me to start out law school a step ahead. I knew what to expect, I knew how I was going to approach the semester, and I felt more at ease because I knew the Law Preview approach had proven to be effective. The strategy sessions were of most help to me, and I also really appreciated the helpful updates throughout the year.

After first semester, I ranked: 1 out of 64 in Contracts; 10 out of 63 in Property; 21 out of 64 in Civil Procedure; 25 out of 63 in Torts; and 10 out 34 in Research, Writing, Advocacy. Law Preview was a great introduction to studying law. The tips for success were helpful and kept me focused. I especially enjoyed the instruction and advice from the professors. After being out of school for 10 years, I was nervous about diving into law school. Law Preview was perfect for getting my feet wet before the real plunge.

I am writing to thank you for the Law Prep course that I took last summer. I just got my first-year grades and I did fantastic, top 5%. At the beginning of the year I walked in with the plan and study techniques you taught me. While other students were still trying to figure out how to case brief, I was already outlining. And, by the time most other students began outlining I had already finished and begun writing practice exams . . . Thanks!

Hey Don - I am now officially a walking endorsement for Law Preview!!! I just got my first-semester grades back and I got an A-, B+, B+! I am so excited -- our curve is set to a B and only 11 people in each class get A's of any kind (and my A- was in Contracts, where I was praying to just get by with a B!). I have no doubt that the study habits, time management, briefing and exam-taking tips I learned at your course helped me do this. Thank you again, and please let me know if there are any prospective students who would like to hear about my experiences. . . . Law Preview was the best thing I did last summer (OK, besides the week in Paris). I can't tell you how much I appreciate the lectures and discussions. I felt this extreme surge of confidence right after the class was over and once I got to law school I was even more impressed with how much I was (and am) able to apply.

Law Preview helped me to get a jump start on my courses, and in mapping out a strategy to succeed in law school. I definitely appreciated the week of boot camp over the summer, and the weekend exam prep workshop during the year. They helped me to feel more confident in classes and exams, and played a big part in getting me onto law review. Thanks Law Preview!

I was a Boston Law Preview student and go to BU now. Got my grades back for last semester and they are great. 4.06 GPA!! . . . the summer program definitely gave me a lot of much needed skills and advice.

The course let me know what to expect coming into Law School. I was more prepared mentally for the challenge and rigor of 1L year.

I took Law Preview in NYC last summer, and just completed my 1st year at Brooklyn. The numbers from 2nd semester came in this past week: A's in Con Law, and Civ Pro, and A- in Contracts, Property, and Legal Writing. GPA is 3.78. Not bad for someone who walked out of every exam sure that he bombed it. Anyway, your class was a huge help. Keep up the good work.

It was extremely helpful. I knew what it expect and was able to delve right into briefing cases appropriately, being prepared for class, and knowing what to anticipate on exams. Thanks!

[Law Preview] made me very skilled at reading and briefing cases, taught time management and emphasized just how much work and how much of a commitment law school was.

I was far more prepared for the basics of law school (reading cases, briefing, etc.) than most of my peers. In addition, the first few weeks weren't nearly as "scary" for me as I know they were for many other people! Having the chance to read many key cases for each class (i.e. Pallsgraf v. LIRR, for Torts) gave me a definite advantage. The roadmap for each course I had after Law Preview made the semester more predictable, and thus easier to manage. I also knew the importance of continuing to brief cases, even when most of my classmates had stopped. Lastly, you can't underestimate the value of those helpful tips (like getting your prof's old exams during the FIRST week of class rather than the last, when everyone else is trying to do it too!)

We aren't ranked until the end of the academic year - my fall GPA was a hair under 3.5. The best advantage coming from Law Preview was having an understanding of what a good exam will read like. So many students want to find the right answer right away, and then stick to their guns. If anything, Socratic Method questioning can reinforce this mistake. But being able to enter school knowing that it is actually wise to seek out, understand, and embrace all sides of an argument was a valuable skill. It was also helpful to have read some of the "greatest hits" cases before classes started.

There is no real way to be prepared for the law school experience but Law Preview was still a boost. The knowledge of what was to come, what was expected of me and some tricks for survival gave me a leg up on the other students. Law Preview's follow up throughout the year kept me motivated and focused on my goals.

There are so many law school legends about the first year of law school - enough to put the fear of God in you. Law Preview took away that fear. I absolutely recommend Law Preview to anyone planning to attend law school.
