[Law Schools: All]
[Graduation Year: All]

It gave me a more comfortable sense of what law school was going to be like. The lectures on how to prepare and what not to get caught up in and waste time with really kept me focused on the task at hand, which was getting good grades. I was in the top 16% of my class this first semester and at least some of that work has to be attributed from some of the stuff I gained from Law Preview. The exam taking strategies and writing skills helped as well.

I believe Law Preview made all the difference in my law school performance. I definitely had a head start on all my classmates, and the plan Law Preview laid out was an excellent resource. I followed the schedule very closely, and the hard work paid off. My gpa is currently a 3.8, I've already been asked by one professor to work as her research assistant next year, and three different professors have told me to expect an invitation to join the law journal. Without Law Preview, I highly doubt I would have been as successful. Thank you!

Law Preview had a huge impact on my first year law school experience. It gave me a plan and I knew as long as I stuck to it I would be successful. Thank you!

Law Preview was tremendous in helping me shoot out of the gate strong. From the first day I walked on campus I had a plan and a purpose thanks to LP. In addition to the organizational and structural advantages I had thanks to the schedule and preparation materials, I left LP with a sense of confidence. Law Preview really helped be "demystify" the law, in breaking it down into something practical and manageable. I also believe that the long hours during the program set my expectations for the amount of time and effort I needed to be successful, which led to a smooth and natural transition into the real thing. I would recommend this program to anyone who is entering law school, especially in this market where grades are EVERYTHING. [Ranked 5 out of 339].

Law Preview was most helpful for letting me know what to expect and how much time I would have to put in. I think my best semester GPA in college was 3.2. My overall was more like 2.2. Let's just say I lacked study habits. After my first semester in law school I had a 3.7. After the first year, I was in the top 5%, graded onto law review, and won a huge scholarship. I read some books before law school that told me much of the same information I was given by Law Preview. What Law Preview does that no book can accomplish, is show you how much work is involved by making you sit in classes all day and then still have several hours of reading and briefing to do that night.

Before the start of my first semester of law school, I had no idea what I was in for until taking the course offered by Law Preview. I don't have any friends who are lawyers; I don't come from a family of lawyers. My resources were limited to those "books" that claim to give an incoming law student some insight as to what to expect. I read at least three of them, and not one of them compares to what I got from Law Preview. I completely attribute my success in my first year of law school to two things: my own commitment to performing well as well as the insight and guidance provided by Law Preview.

It definitely affected my success in a very good way. . . . Obviously, I knew law school was going to be all about studying, studying and more studying, but I think I would have wasted a lot of time studying the wrong things in the wrong way. Law Preview helped to retrain the way my mind takes in information and then uses it. Certainly, a majority of the mind retraining took place over the course of my semester, but by going to Law Preview I had advance knowledge of that process. Once I got to exams, I was again thankful for what I learned during that week about a law school final. I spent a month of 12 hour days in the library, but I knew this is what it would take. I was ready for each of my finals, and I am very pleased with the outcome of my semester.

[Law Preview] gave me focus and clarity on how I needed to study and what I needed to study. Law Preview motivated me to work as hard as possible and it instilled in me the importance of finishing as highly ranked as possible. I finished the first semester in top 10%. Second semester I finished in the top 5% and graded onto the Law Review. I am also going to be a part of my law school's mentoring program for incoming 1 L's.

There were two great benefits from Law Preview. First, it gave me a sneak peak of all the core subject matters. I cannot stress how much that benefited me. It removed the intimidation factor and gave me a broad overview of each subject. Second, and more importantly, it gave me a plan in which to succeed. While other law students were flailing around and trying to figure out what to do, I had a clear plan that guided my actions. Law Preview told me precisely what was required to succeed (lots of hours and lots of outlining). It gave me a schedule to do those things. And this schedule was given to me by a Law Preview lawyer invitee who would not sugar-coat the demands (or rewards) of this work.

Without Law Preview I'm not sure that I'd have succeeded in law school. Law Preview got me back in the mindset of being a student after taking time away from school and working for two years. I was out of practice at studying and I wanted to take a course that would get me back in the right frame of mind. Law Preview was perfect. I re-learned all of the study skills I had forgotten, and replaced a lot of my inefficient undergraduate practices with the techniques that work at the law school level. Plus, I got a one-week jump on the most important part of law school: the case method. Nothing in undergraduate education or the work world compares to the way that law professors use the case analysis method to teach the law. Thanks to Law Preview I was a lot more comfortable working with cases; I was able to spend the first weeks of school learning the law rather than trying to orient myself. Thanks in part to what I learned at Law Preview I was able to graduate second in my class and get a Supreme Court clerkship. I can't thank Law Preview enough!

I attended Law Preview in Miami during the Summer of 2004. I just recieved my first semester grades back, and I received a 3.416. While that may not seem impressive, it is good enough for #2 in my part-time law school class. As a father, a husband, and someone who works full-time, making time for the session was difficult, but well worth it. I feel that the knowledge and habits that I was exposed to were invaluable in allowing me to hit the ground running from the beginning of school. I didn't have to worry about what it was going to be expected of me, I already knew.

Law Preview's professors are amazing! They want to teach you and are very enthusiastic that we are taking the initiative. The variety of law schools represented, the teachers, and their teaching methods were very impressive. I know I'm more prepared now than I could ever have been, and I'm so far ahead of nearly everyone in my first year classes.

I highly recommend Law Preview to anyone preparing to enter the first year of law school, whatever your personal circumstances may be. If you are just graduating from under-grad, Law Preview will help you to quickly see that Law School will be nothing like under-grad and will provide you with tips on how to hit the ground running. If you are like me and have been out of school for a few (or many!) years, Law Preview is a great way to get your feet wet again and to help build up your confidence before the school year begins. In addition, Law Preview is such a fantastic experience because you can truly see what your first year is going to be like in 6 short days. The professors are extraordinary and you will learn in one week the basics of everything you need to know to excel in your first year . . . I really enjoyed the week I spent with Law Preview but it was not until school started that I realized just how valuable an experience it was for me and it further hit home when I ended the first semester with a 3.9 GPA and ranked #1 in my class! I couldn’t have done it without Law Preview!

More than anything else, Law Preview revitalized my academic frame of mind. I had taken some time off from school before entering law school and Law Preview put the necessities of school at the forefront of my thinking. The methods of managing the workload, as well as studying for exams, helped me to organize my year from day to day.

Law Preview gave me the confidence to succeed and made me comfortable to know that I was among the best prepaired to conquer law school (along with other Law Preview alums, of course). And with the confidence to succeed, I did just that.

Helped by teaching me how to read and brief cases. Also gave a good basic overview of the classes so I didn't feel like I was hearing everything for the first time.

It definitely prepared me for the topics that I would have to face and I definitely recognized quite a bit of the material in the first month which made the experience a much easier transition as everyone knows law school is a world unto itself.

I attended the Catholic University session . . . Since the conclusion of the program I have meant to write in order be yet another to let you know how wonderful the program was. The course was spectacular, and prepared me well. By attending your course prior to the start of law school, I was comforted that I had done everything possible to prepare for my new endeavor. Now that school has begun, I am using the techniques I learned. Also, as a result of my having taken your course, the first couple of weeks of school were easier for me than for most of my classmates. So many of the cases that were assigned for Law Preview classes have been assigned for school, saving me invaluable time during the first two hectic weeks. The experience of writing briefs over the summer has proven a major asset. Additionally, the professors were outstanding, offering their respective areas of expertise, as well as their willingness to be contacted throughout the year! Thank you for creating and offering such a fabulous program! Please feel free to give my name and email address to anyone who has questions about Law Preview. I highly recommend Law Preview to anyone who wants to be well prepared for the start of law school. I believe I will continue to reap the rewards of your program, and I will keep you apprised of my progress.

I am so glad I did Law Preview because I was pretty prepared when most of the other first year students were very nervous in the first few weeks of the semester. I also adhered to most of the things that were recommended by Law Preview (I followed the calendar schedule of when to start outlining, reviewing my flashcards, etc). [Ranked 14 out of 217].

I attended the 2002 Summer Session in Dallas. I wanted to say thank you again for my scholarship and I wanted to keep you posted. I received my first semester grades and came out with a 3.8. I also received the highest grade in my Contracts Class. Thanks so much for your help.
