[Graduation Year: All]

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!

I can't tell you how much I appreciated Law Preview. I was only accepted to Albany off the waitlist in early June 2009, and I wasn't feeling too great about my prospects for success. Now, after having completed my 1L year, I'm proud to report that I ranked #19 out of 250 students. Beyond preparing me for the substantive classes, LP helped me gain confidence and avoid the potholes that challenge every 1L no matter where they go to school. I definitely feel that Law Preview also gave me a leg up on my classmates in a number of ways -- whether it was briefing cases or putting together an effective study schedule -- Law Preview removed a lot of the trial and error and I entered my first year with a plan of attack and that was without question a major factor in my success.

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.

I dont know my class rank, but it was a 3.7 I liked that we went over actual cases [during Law Preview]. So when they came up the second time around, it was like a nice break and I felt like a pro.

Law Preview (LP) affected my experience profoundly. I followed LP's dictates with religious fervor. I believe it worked. Without it, I would not have started outlining as early, structured my time as rigorously, or put so much time into studying.

I felt more confident starting in the fall and had a better understanding of the material as I progressed through the year. [Ranked top 10% after 1L year].

Law Preview provided the framework to build my first year study plan. The introduction to materials and format was pivotal in my success. Although the materials provided in the Law Preview class were quickly assimilated into the actual material of the class, the method of introduction and preparation helped form the basis of how I approached the class.

The main benefit, which was an important one, was the sample calendar that encouraged me to work my butt off. Additionally, the supplements provided and the email questions and answers were valuable. [Ranked #3 out of 170 students after first semester].

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.

First and foremost, the law preview course gave me confidence. I followed the advise and schedule that was provided to the best of my ability, and I feel that it was the defining factor is my success. I received the highest grade on the memo that we wrote for the Research, Writing and Advocacy class, and the second highest grade in that class overall. I got all A's and B's in all of my classes. I used my notes from the Law Preview course on multiple occasions for clarification on various topics that we covered during the first semester. On that note, I feel that the instructors were amazing in their ability to convey so much information in such a concise and understandable way.

I'd say that the part of Law Preview's course that made the biggest difference in my grades was the clear idea of how much work it takes to do well in law school. While I came in thinking I'd get a head start on understanding principles that would be brought up in class I quickly learned in the first week of school that the study schedule/calendar was the serious roadmap to success and that instructors weren't kidding when they talked about the endless string of 12-hour days. In the end it paid off not because I'm smarter than everybody else, but because I had the right perspective on what it takes to succeed. When others got caught in the typical traps of first year, I received enough warning to stay the course and find high marks.

The prep truly allowed me to 'hit the ground running.' [Ranked 27 out of 430]

I entirely credit Law Preview with my success this semester. I came into the week-long class with no idea of what law school really was and more importantly for my GPA, what law professors really wanted. Law Preview gave me a road map of how to succeed. I closely followed their advice and have two A's and an A- to show for it. Next semester, I plan to continue my regimen from the fall while also signing up for the online exam review through Law Preview. I really can't say enough good things about this program and I've been encouraging all my law school bound friends to sign up.

Law Preview helped me to understand the type of material to expect, introduced me to the Socratic method, and showed me the importance of case briefing. I also learned to outline for my classes throughout the semester, and was a lot less panicked and rushed than my classmates who waited until the end. The introduction to legal research and writing was particularly valuable, because I couldn't use online resources for my first assignment, and I had a general understanding of how to use the books that enabled me to conduct research more efficiently.

I made straight A's for my first semester in law school, and I know attending Law Preview helped me succeed. I think I was better prepared for law school and knew what to expect because of Law Preview! Law Preview helped me develop good study habits for law school before I even entered the doors, and their tips and supplements really helped me! For everyone who is planning to attend law school, I strongly suggest that they take a Law Preview course. It can make a huge difference in whether they succeed or barely pass.
