The overviews are incredibly helpful. To have seen estates and future interests before your first day of class puts you well ahead of the curve. And, Jordan Steiker on Con Law was utterly amazing.

Law Preview gave me a basic understanding of what to expect in each of my classes. Law Preview helped me realize that I was going to have to work hard for my grades, but also helped me realize that if I did I would be at the top of my class. Most importantly Law Preview gave me a heads up on how to prepare for final exams. I felt like I knew what to expect from day one. It was all a matter of keeping on top of everything and practicing like Law Preview taught me.

Hi Don, I hope you are doing well. Last summer, I took the Law Preview seminar at Texas Wesleyan (I am also a 1L there). I received my grades and I made the Dean's List!! . . . It has been nearly a decade since I was in school, so I was very apprehensive about returning. The seminar provided a great introduction to the subject matter and the time demands of law school.

I do not at the time know my class rank, but my first semester grades are nothing short of impressive. The course not only took the edge off the first few weeks, but also put me weeks ahead of my classmates as far as study skills are concerned. I used the helpful advice throughout the entire semester, and it really paid off.

From the very first day of class I felt ahead of the learning curve as far as preparation and study habits goes. The tips from Law Preview were very helpful in establishing a good base for finals preparation and it really showed when exam period came around.

Attending Law Preview provided awareness of the specific topics that would be covered during the first year of law school. Briefing cases and discussing them during class sessions was extremely helpful; the experience was invaluable for being able to concentrate on content rather than the process of briefing. An accepted student who will be a 1L in Fall 2008 asked me about attending Law Preview. Because of my recommendation, he signed up and will be attending the session at Wesleyan in August 2008! How exciting to have made such a difference in someone's life/career choice.

Law Preview really helped me in regards to exams. I had a hard semester, but when it came to exams, I followed the procedure set forth by Law Preview. I was able to out-perform my classmates by a considerable degree. My law school does not provide us our rank unless we request it, and I am still waiting for it, but judging from my grades, I am ranked highly.

Law Preview was invaluable. I was hoping to be in the top 20%. I am in the top 8%. LP gave me a road map to law school. While fellow classmates were 'freaking out' and overwhelmed at orientation, I felt like I had been there before. When others were struggling with the concept of briefing a case, I had all my briefs completed. Without Law Preview I would have been just another average student. Instead, I'm on the Dean's List. Thanks Law Preview!

Law Preview was very instrumental in enabling me to be successful in my first year of law school. Not only did the course help prepare me for the rigors of the 1L curriculum, but it gave me a level of confidence walking into my first law school class that many of my peers did not acquire until well into the semester. While nothing can completely prepare you for the amount of hard work that it will take to out perform many of the other success driven people that will be sitting next to you in your law school classes, Law Preview comes pretty close. I finished my first year of law school ranked #10 (Top 5%) in my class, and I just received an invitation to become a member of my school's law review. There is no doubt in my mind that attending the Law Preview course was a significant factor in helping me to achieve these results. Law Preview's exam taking strategies, success tactics, and course overviews were all invaluable aids to me throughout my 1L year.

Law Preview was invaluable because it gave me a game plan for success. I followed the 12 steps, calendar, and testing materials. I have recommended Law Preview to several incoming students including my my wife and brother-in-law who are both coming to my law school. Thanks to Law Preview I ended up in the top 7% of my class and was invited to Law Review last week! I am working as a Research Assistant for one of my professors and also found an internship at a law firm in San Diego. Law Preview is for any student who wants to succeed.

Law Preview gave me the edge I needed to do well this semester. First, learning a lot of the main concepts ahead of time really allowed me to focus on perfecting my knowledge of the concept, as opposed to merely trying to grasp the concept for the first time. For example, when my Civil Procedure professor was introducing Subject-Matter Jurisdiction, Personal Jurisdiction, and their distinctions, I already understood; therefore I was able to gain more from the lecture throughout the semester. Secondly, the case briefing exercises really paid off. The process of identifying the relevant facts, the main issue, etc was daunting at first; but by the time I started class, I was able to produce them much quicker than the rest of my classmates, who were just learning how to case brief. It saved me time and frustration once the semester started. In the end it all paid off because I am now in the top 1% of my class after the first semester. Thank you Law Preview!

Law Preview prepared me with what to expect in my first year of law school. They gave great tips I used throughout the year.

Law Preview helped me tremendously with my law school experience, especially the writing class. I felt more confident and prepared when I began.

Since I just received my grades from the first semester yesterday, I do not know what I'm ranked yet, but I did get 3 As and 1 A-!! Law Preview definitely made a huge impression on my law school experience. The most important thing I took out of it was how much Don stressed to us that the 1st year matters the most. I always had that in the back of my mind at all times and that is what kept me going and striving to succeed. While everyone around me I felt complained about how hard it was and basically wanted to give up, I just kept remembering what Don said every day that once you get through the 1st year, the rest is easy! It also made me not want to settle for anything less than a 4.0 and so that's what I worked toward and I'm extremely pleased that I have no regrets about the effort I put in because I did everything I could have possibly done. . . . I also benefitted from Law Preview in that it stressed the importance of taking note of the things professors said in class that other students would think were trivial because those actually can matter the most and always find their way on the exam. For example, my torts professor mentioned one small detail in class that a certain case (that we were required to look up on our own time) might be on the exam, and I was SO happy i took the time to do that because the facts and issue in that case were EXACTLY the same on the exam and worth 20 essay pts! I really liked all the professors that came and lectured at law preview as well. My favorite was Jody Kraus who taught us Contracts because although he was intimidating at first, that definitely prepared me for some of the professors I had last semester! (I also really appreciated Don telling us to make sure we were well-prepared for that lecture!) Whenever I was called on to recite in class I just kept thinking how Jody told us that even if you're not sure what you're talking about, SOUND confident, and that helped a lot. . . . I also really found the schedule Law Preview laid out for us very helpful because I think a lot of people go into law school not knowing what the average time commitment is and I just kept thinking "9 hrs a day" and would try to aim for that! In the beginning of school, I was trying to do my homework for class the night before and then I realized that on the schedule we were given it said to do the assignments 2 nights in advance and that definitely was helpful!! Much less stressful that way. . . . More than anything, thank you Law Preview for being my motivation to strive for a 4.0 and constantly remind myself how important the first year grades are!

I can't explain how much I believe this program helped me. Because of my experience at Law Preview, I came into my first term feeling comfortable with the material and hit the ground running. As I met more and more students, I realized that I was so much more ahead of them in terms of preparedness. I followed the schedule that the Law Preview suggested and I felt that its flow helped me to do my daily work, study on the weekends and to manage my time effectively. Many of my friends would come to me seeking advice or help with their briefs because they saw how streamlined my own process was. As the term went on I began to realize week after week how much the program really helped. And as I came into week ten I did not feel as stressed as most students. While they were spending late nights in the library trying to catch up and write their outlines; I was simply reviewing and developing strategies on how to attack my exams. I felt that the study tips and suggestions they gave at the Law Preview not only helped with learning content, but managing the stress of first term. Not that I wasn't stressed, but I was substantially less freaked out/emotional than many other students. I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in going to law school. To put it quite plain, I would call home and tell my parents all the time how thankful I was that I made the decision to attend the Law Preview. [Ranked 51 out of 325].

This class was the best investment I ever made. I really felt that I was not only incredibly prepared, but also very confident when I began school. . . . I also wanted you to know that the exam-taking strategies you teach were a great help -- I got an A- on my Criminal Law midterm. It was among the top 6 grades in my section of 70 students. Thanks again you guys.

Law Preview helped me build confidence in my abilities so I did not have to waste time in the first month of law school trying to find the confidence I needed to succeed. It taught me how to focus and excel in the pressure that is law school. . . . Also recieved a C.A.L.I. award in Torts.

The suggestions were really helpful about how to spend breaks and prepare for midterms and finals. The calendar was really useful to see how to spend my time. It was a good feeling to know walking in to school that I had seen some of the cases before and knew how to brief a case.

I think Law Preview gave me a huge advantage coming into 1L year. Rather than coming in with a vague notion that law school would be hard work, I had a clear plan of exactly what kind of work I needed to be doing and how to do it. It was also very helpful getting the alumni updates so you feel like you're not alone and have people who actually understand what law school is like and have been through it there to answer any questions, give advice, and encourage you to stay on track. Though my school doesn't rank 1st year students until the end of 2nd semester, grades are in and I'm thrilled with the results. I got 3 As and 1 B+. I even got the A* in my Torts class. I definitely don't think I would have done as well without Law Preview. Thanks!

I think it was a big help because I knew what to expect going in and knew how to handle it. [Ranked #11 out of 235].
