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

It was very helpful having a preview of each course, the vocabulary and general concepts of my first-semester curriculum. The familiarity with first-year law school concepts allowed me to internalize the issues rather than just trying to understand them. Experiencing the diversity of teaching methods from Law Preview enabled me to better prepare and adjust to each of the teaching styles of my professors [ranked #5 out of 240 after first semester].

[Law Preview] gave me great confidence going into my exams [ranked #13 out of 231 students].

—Anonymous, Tulane University Law School, Class of 2011

I took Law Preview for an unusual reason. I had taken the LSAT but had not yet applied to school I was hesitant to quit my current job and go to law school; I did not really know if a legal career was right for me. I took Law Preview and had a great time. The lectures and instructors were wonderful. I think I now have a much better idea of what the law is and what to expect from school. I currently have applications pending and am keeping my fingers crossed that I end up at a school with teachers as interesting and competent as those I met at Law preview

—Lawrence K., Undecided, Class of 2010

Taking Law Preview not only gave me a great introduction to the basic first year law courses, it also gave me a realistic perspective of the kind of work that is required to finish in the top 10% of my class. I was able to land a job with a large firm after my first year and am currently preparing myself for a very successful career in law.

—Kevin K., University of Akron School of Law, Class of 2011

I wanted to let you all know that I just got my acceptance to Law Review in the mail, and I think that Law Preview played a huge part in the fact that I ended up in the top ten percent of my class with a best paper award and Law Review! It gave me an edge- I wasn't nearly as nervous, and I had at least heard of all the major concepts of every first year class before getting sent home with nothing but a casebook for my guide. The briefing skills I learned at Law Preview were the most important factor in my success. I did every brief, every time, just like you all said and to my amazement, it really works!

—Anonymous, University of Alabama School of Law, Class of 2006

Law Preview prepared me for what I would face in law school. It gave me confidence and relieved a great deal of stress before and during law school.

—Anonymous, University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, Class of 2011

My GPA was a 3.78--- 3 A's, 1 B. I believe Law Preview gave me a head start. I was more comfortable in the learning process than many of my classmates.

—Anonymous, University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, Class of 2012

I think that Law Preview got me in the mindset as to what school was going to demand of me. I didn't know very much about the day to day work or what to expect as to the demands of law school. I believe that law preview prepared me more for what to expect, thereby decreasing the anxiety throughout the first couple of weeks. This helped me focus on my work. I don't think anything can prepare you for the unfortunate day that you first get called on, but I believe Law Preview prepares you as to what you should be studying - what you should be taking out of the cases and putting into your outline.

—Taylor M., University of Arkansas Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law, Class of 2009

Law Preview allowed me to get an idea of what law school was about so that I knew what professors were talking about when they mentioned the words outlining and case briefs from day one. This class gives you a glimpse of what law school is about so that you already have an advantage over other students who are still trying to get a feel for what is expected of them. That may not seem like a lot but it is enough to put you ahead of at least half the class and any advantage you can have is always good.

—Lawrence O., University of Arkansas Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law, Class of 2009

Law Preview kept me on course while my classmates seemed confused.

—Joshua W., University of Arkansas Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law, Class of 2011

Law Preview was an invaluable experience. I feel that I would have not done as well without taking the courses. Although the substantive material did not completely remain with me throughout the semester, the most valuable aspect of this program was the dose of confidence that it gave me going in to my first semester. Law school, especially your first year, is one of the most grueling, mentally- and emotionally-challenging years of your life and having a bit of extra confidence can really make the difference. Going in prepared helped me to remain on track when school felt overwhelming, and that resulted in an extremely successful first year for me. I credit Law Preview with that! I recommend this program to every incoming 1L.

Law Preview allowed me to hit the ground running as soon as the semester began. I did not have to waste time learning how to read and brief cases. The jump start allowed to stay on top of my studies throughout the year and finish ranked in the top 4%. The preparation Law Preview provided me allowed me to achieve a GPA and ranking that allowed me to transfer to a top 20 law school.

Law Preview helped to eliminate some of the pressure and fear of the unknown when it came to the first year of law school. The professors are top notch and the founders of the company are always available to assist a student with any questions he or she may have throughout the semester. While the program provides background on each first year class along with tips pertaining to outlining, exams, briefing cases, etc., I feel that the true value of the program lies in its ability to mentally prepare an incoming law student, making him or her comfortable with the potential obstacles down the road. Law Preview proved to be an invaluable experience; I earned a 3.688 my first semester which should place me in the top 10 in my class.

I am thrilled with my grades and with the effort that I put into classes this year. If not for Law Preview I wouldn't have had an idea of what to expect during my first year. By spending a little extra money to prepare myself for the first year of a huge investment it was invaluable. I always knew I could offer something in class just from the daily classes we had in Law Preview. By doing the program it gave me a leg up from everyone who did nothing during the summer. Showing how to correctly brief a case gave me an advantage. While it took three weeks for my classmates to finally get it right I was on top of it before the first class! Law Preview is an investment that every future 1L needs to take advantage of.

—Marc H., University of Baltimore School of Law, Class of 2009

Law Preview made me confident and not scared going into law school which is a very intimidating and lonely environment. I felt like just by having practiced reading cases in Law Preview's casebook I was ahead of other people in my class struggling to write a brief. I took their advice seriously and it paid off [ranked #7 out of 280].

—Anonymous, University of Baltimore School of Law, Class of 2010

As an older student, Law Preview provided a good overview of what to expect, both in terms of law and in terms of rejoining the academic environment. In fact, my preparation for law preview alone by briefing 40 cases over the summer allowed me to hit the ground running. The professors at law preview were so good, that even though I have enjoyed my professors during 1L, I remember them fondly and wish I could take their law classes. [Ranked top 10% after first semester].

—Anonymous, University of Baltimore School of Law, Class of 2012

I came into law school knowing I wanted to transfer and Law Preview helped give me a clear strategy I needed to do well. I have already been accepted as a transfer student to Harvard, UCLA & Boalt. I think most importantly I came in knowing how to outline, take practice tests, ect, and that gave me an edge I was able to maintain throughout the year.

—Anonymous, University of California - Hastings College of the Law, Class of 2008

Thanks to Law Preview, my first semester grades exceeded my expectations. I now have a 4.0 G.P.A., as well as an A in legal writing and research, even with the dreaded forced curve Hastings likes to implement. Law Preview definitely helped make law school a more comfortable (and, dare I say, enjoyable) experience. By going through Law Preview's prep course, I was comfortable with the process of reading, briefing, and taking notes by the time the first semester started. This advantage alone was invaluable; it saved me a lot of stress and anxiety that many of my classmates faced, for it was the first time for many of them to even see what a case looks like, much less struggle through the material to decipher the case's importance. In addition, Law Preview continues to give advice and answer questions during the school year, which helped keep me on track and clear any ambiguities I had. I would strongly recommend Law Preview to anyone thinking of entering the field of law.

—Anonymous, University of California - Hastings College of the Law, Class of 2006

Law Preview exceeded my expectations. It is well organized, has an excellent faculty conducting its classes and it provides great course materials. I feel I hit the ground running in all my first-year classes and was very prepared to present cases. The course gave me the map and confidence to focus on exam strategies from day one. Thanks.
