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

Law Preview did introduce me to course material and case briefing. Clearly, I did a nice job on my exams and have a good GPA. I think following the Law Preview schedule certainly helped.

Law Preview was a great decision for me. I have been out of school for a few years and needed a jump start. The comprehensive program gave me the framework to start classes confident and prepared [ranked #1 out of 140].

Two of the biggest secrets of success in law school is time management and preparation before class. Law Preview was terrific in helping me understand how to spend my time wisely during the 1L and prepare for classes so that by the time fall classes began, I was hitting the ground running while many of my classmates were still grasping the barebones of the law (and law school). After the first year, I am in the top 10 percent of my class. Law Preview definitely had a hand in helping me acheive that goal!

Law Preview was beneficial in that it helped strip away some of the anxiety and myths about first year law school while also conveying the reality of the large amount of time and effort that would be required of students if they wanted to succeed. There are no magic words or formulas to success but Law Preview passed on tools and techniques for studying so that I was able to hit the ground running from the very first day of school. The tools and practice from Law Preview allowed me to focus on the substance of what was being discussed in class and in the readings. Rather than trying to remember what the heck IRAC was or learning how to write case briefs and read case books effectively the first few weeks of the semester I'd already had a week of practice on how to accomplish those tasks thanks to my time with Law Preview. One of the first legal writing assignments at my school during first semester was to write a case brief which I already knew how to write thanks to the templates from Law Preview and session on the topic. I got 100% on the brief. The familiarity and introduction to various topics and projects covered during the first year of law school became a huge time saver. And any law school student will tell you that anything that saves time is invaluable in law school.

I was a Law Preview student in Fort Worth last summer. I am currently enrolled at Widener University School of Law in Harrisburg, PA, where I finished first semester ranked #2 in my class with a 3.836 GPA. My success in law school has been in large part due to the preparation and skills I gained from your course (and a lot of hard work). Anyway, I believe in what you do – it certainly helped me. Thanks!

The professors really gave a good flavor as to what to expect from the doctrinal classes. I felt very well prepared heading into the first semester of law school. The schedule that the class provided was also very helpful.

My first-year law school experience is still in progress, but Law Preview helped by giving me an overview of what to expect....both with substantive coursework and the "lay of the land" as far as how law school works. . . . I was able to carve out a study routine early in the semester that allowed me to be as efficient as possible. I reviewed the test-taking information before finals began which helped refresh my memory regarding what I need to do for exams. Law Preview was beneficial to me because in early August, it provided me with a gameplan that I was able to stick to through December.

Law Preview helped me prepare for the rigors of law school life. By following the schedule and applying the principles to my study, I did much better than I would have done otherwise. By applying what I learned at Law Preview, I have been able to consistently improve my performance. Law School is a marathon, not a sprint. If you just apply the principles that Law Preview teaches, you'll do just fine.

Law Preview helped by giving me an overview of what to expect at law school. The 'previews' of the substantive classes were great, but I got my money's worth from the semester-long calendar Law Preview provided us. Thanks to Law Preview, I was able to carve out a study routine early in the semester that allowed me to be as efficient as possible during the semester. Thanks to Law Preview, I knew in August what I needed to do to succeed during finals in December (and May) of my first year.

I was able to get right into briefing cases without having to figure out if I was doing it right or not. I was able to follow along in class because my brief was set up perfectly. Almost all of the cases learned in the class were used during my first semester and it was just a refresher to read them again instead of having to learn them for the first time. Coming into finals week I was more prepared then most other students and I knew exactly what I had to do. [Ranked 20 out of 138.]

Having just finished my first semester at William & Mary School of Law, the only thing that I can think to say is THANK YOU!!! I just received my grades and was completely shocked (and thrilled) to see a GPA of 3.93 with 3 As and 1 A-! I took your Law Preview course last summer in Los Angeles and all of the basics that you emphasized were tremendously helpful . . . thanks for all of your help in preparing for my first semester of law school.

Because I wasn't a government major as an undergraduate, and didn't take any of the traditional 'pre-law' type classes I was a little intimidated about the first year of law school. Law Preview helped to ease my tension and helped me to feel confident going in, as I had been introduced to all the major topics we would address and had some foundational knowledge to build on. I think the best things Law Preview can give an incoming 1L are confidence and a foundation of knowledge on which to build a successful first year.

Well your system worked. My first grades are a 3.8. While there is no class rank, they award a CALI award in each doctrinal class -- it represents the best exam for the class in that subject out of 352 students -- and I won that in Torts. What a great program!

Law Preview gave me a great preview of what to expect in law school. But more importantly, it gave me a plan. One thing I've noticed out of the top students in my class is that we all seem to have a plan of studying, breifing, outlining, etc. Law preview gave me that plan and told me what I needed to do if I wanted to succeed in law school. I had a hard time believing that it would take almost 12 hours a day, 7 days a week...but I really did spend that much time. If I did not take the Law Preview course, I would have started law school not knowing how to brief a case and not knowing how to formulate an exam answer. Bottom line...there is no way that I would be in the top 10% of my class if I hadn't taken Law Preview.

It helped me develop the reading and case-briefing skills that I needed before the rest of the people at my school. It is true that one should brief every single case. It really put me ahead of others in my class who had no idea of how to brief a case and how to read efficiently.

Law Preview gave me the ultimate 'heads up' that I needed for law school. Don and all of the distinguished Professors tell you what nobody else will. During orientation and for several weeks after the semester began, it seemed everyone was running around without much of a clue of what was going on. Because of Law Preview, I already knew what I needed to do in order to focus solely on the important aspects of my courses. Law Preview pays off through every aspect of the first semester, and even beyond. I had my outlines complete by the time others were just learning how to get the most out of briefing a case. A small number of the students in my section even began to withdraw from classes during this time. Law Preview emphasizes methods that will help you stick through attrition. After the exams, many of the students were very worried about the grades they received. This was clearly the first time the others encountered receiving what they considered such
low grades. Law Preview discusses this, so I was already prepared. . . . Law Preview clearly gives you the tools needed to cut through the confusion. They get down to brass tacks by clearly illustrating what we did and did not need to worry about.

The combination of the overviews from law professors preeminent in their fields and honest, practical insights into surviving the first year from recent, successful law school graduates cannot be beaten! . . . I would recommend this program to anyone beginning preparations for law school. When the first semester is underway and you have an immediate grasp of the case method, depth of understanding of your course material, and are effectively managing your time (and your life as a 1L), you'll be glad you took Law Preview. I'm glad I did.

I was out of school for several years before returning to law school. Law Preview helped me get back into the student mindset and helped prepare me for what to expect in the law school classroom.
