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

Overall, this was an incredible experience -- I am so pleased and impressed and have no doubt that this will help me for years to come. Also, I can't tell you how impressed and satisfied I was with every professor and every subject . .. Thank you for everything, it was truly exceptional.

I was ranked in the top 15% of my first-year section. I found the last two days of the Law Preview course most helpful. Specifically the classes taught by Prof. Harrison, Exam Taking and Legal Research and Writing. Although I was cursing myself at the time for spending Saturday learning about mysterious things called Shephardizing and Corpus Juris Secundum, I still referred to the notes I took in that class during my LR and W class last year and during my internship this summer. I also found the e-mail updates during the year helpful. Great program.

I had good understanding of the study skills that would be needed for class and exams. I felt my Law Preview experience most in preparing for exams. I also benefited from the mental preparation that the intensive week of Law Preview forced me to undertake.

I was really pleased with how Law Preview prepped me for my first semester! I knew exactly what I needed to do to prepare for classes, what to focus on in taking class notes, and how I should prepare for exams. While my peers struggled and floundered in the first few months trying to figure out how to read a case or write a brief, I was confident that I knew what to look for and it made it much easier to get more out of class from the very start and finish the semester strong. Also, the schedule suggested in terms of outline preparation really worked for me and gave me enough time to complete the outlines, consolidate them, and use them on practice tests. This familiarity with my outline in a test-like setting made all the difference in the world.

My undergrad grades were mediocre and I had graduated a few years ago, so law school was very intimidating. Law Preview was great way introduction with valuable, practical advice; my first semester grades far exceeded my hopes.

The main benefit of Law Preview is that it dramatically reduces the learning curve and culture shock that beginning students inevitably face. By understanding more of the journey on which I was about to embark, I was better prepared to grasp the material and learn substantive law rather than trying to learn the basics, which Law Preview teaches.

Hi Don. I just got my first semester grades back. Although we don't receive our class rankings until the end of our first year, my first semester grades put me somewhere in the top 5%. Thanks! I have to admit, I wasn't expecting to perform nearly so well, and I have to credit your course. In particular, I found your strategy for approaching the first year of law school the best part of the course. It allowed me to start law school with a system already in place, and I was able to modify and fine tune it as the semester went on. I knew what to expect, and more important, what was expected of me from my professors. While the general strategy parts of the course were the most useful, the intro into Future Interests was worth its weight in gold!! I'm not sure how this semester will turn out now that everyone else has started to figure out how to study for law school, but at least I won't have to be playing catch up! Thanks again.

Thanks Law Preview- I finished somewhere in the top 6-7% of my class for the first year. Because I am part-time, we are not officially ranked until the end of our second year, but my grades let me know where I stand. I definitely credit Law Preview in large measure for my success; in particular the "approach to law school" tips are priceless and are what gave me the edge.

Law Preview truly prepared me for my first semester of law school. Thanks to a mere six days spent in your classes this summer, I knew what to expect, how to brief, how to take efficient notes, and even what to expect out of exams. I am happy to report that I received the highest grade in my Contracts class and that although we do not receive rankings until the end of the year, I expect that I am currently in the top 3-5% based on grade distributions. I would recommend Law Preview to anyone who wants to obtain an edge during first semester!

Law Preview helped me throughout the semester by giving me a guide as to what types of landmarks I needed to hit at different times (e.g. outlining, reviewing material, etc.). Because mine is one of the few schools with midterms, I had to adjust my strategy somewhat. I also appreciate the value of having the overview understanding of the different first-year topics. It was helpful for me to understand the basics of what I was learning beforehand much in the same way that one benefits from understanding the geography of a foreign country before visiting. Funny anecdote: While talking about Lucy v. Zehmer in contracts, I started listing facts that were not described in our textbook. I had forgotten which material I had learned at Law Preview and which I had learned from the text. . . . Regarding my grades, I am on the Dean's List and my first semester GPA is 3.25. Also I earned As in Civil Procedure and Contracts.

Law Preview did just that- gave me a preview of my first year law school classes. Because of LP, I started the school year feeling better prepared, which in turn made me more confident. LP taught me the skills I needed to succeed in my first year. The study calendar which LP recommended was most helpful even if it was incredibly regimented because it made me stay on top of my studies.

If it hadn't been for Law Preview, I would have been figuring out my weekly studying routine right around midterms. At that point, you might as well throw away the semester. Law Preview impressed on me the importance of calculated, and balanced work efforts to ensure that I didn't burn out, while staying on top of the rigorous course load that is unique to law school.
—Michael D., Golden Gate University School of Law, Class of 2014

Very good and inspiring. It set the expectation that I would have to spend 12 hours a day studying (although I rarely did) so I always was pushing myself to exceed where others gave up too easily. This allowed me to be in the top of my class.

Law Preview affected my law school experience by not being scared. I went into the first semester of law school with confidence and a correct mind set to succeed. I looked around during orientation and all of the other incoming one L's were freaked out and nervous. I also was one of the only students to know what a tort was prior to class starting.
—Douglas C., Hamline University School of Law, Class of 2010

Law Preview really helped put law school into perspective. I really had no idea of what to expect going in, and Law Preview gave me insight in what to expect. The overview lectures on the basic courses (contracts, civil procedure, torts, etc.) along with the case readings was a really nice to way to get a taste of what was to come. It is no way taught me everything I needed to know first semester, but it did give me a sense of confidence.

Thank you so much. I just got my fall term grades back and was thrilled with 2 A's and an A-. I thought adjusting to school after working for several years would be difficult. Law Preview not only alleviated my stress about the adjustment, but also helped me hit the ground running. Thanks for all your help.

Law Preview surpassed all my expectations. I took Law Preview and the course offered by BarBri-NILE. Every day, Law Preview gave each of its students highly individualized and personal attention, which my BarBri-NILE experience lacked. Truly, the Law Preview staff could not have been more attentive or caring! I recommend this course for anyone preparing for law school.

I filled out the [course] evaluation fairly completely. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my answers. One thing might be a bit misleading; my answer to your question 'Did Law Preview meet your expectations?'. The best answer available was 'Yes. completely' which I selected. In reality Law Preview exceeded my expectations. My expectation was that Law Preview would give me an overview of each 1st year law class so I will be able to absorb each case knowing where the end point will be. While it certainly did that, I did not expect it to be so entertaining. The faculty last week were all extraordinary teachers. Several could have been stand up comedians . . .So, while there was no place to put it on the evaluation, Law Preview did more than just meet my expectations. My only complaint is that I am going to spend the next nine months frustrated, since I know what great teaching is. Thanks for a great week.

I can honestly say that my week with Law Preview has been one of the most rewarding educational experiences of my life, far exceeding my initial expectations. The professors who comprise Law Preview's faculty are not only recognized experts in their respective fields, but also phenomenal teachers genuinely concerned with the students' learning. As a result, I have developed both a deeper appreciation for the law and a heightened sense of excitement regarding the next three years and beyond. I would highly recommend this class to anyone going to law school.

Law Preview provided me an outstanding overview of my 1L curriculum and allowed me to grasp the big picture of each course far earlier than I would have otherwise. The professors were really helpful and covered some of the most fundamental and hard to grasp topics in 1L courses, which I really appreciated when they came up the second time around and I was already well-prepared to deal with them. Thanks to Law Preview's overview, from the moment that classes started I knew how to manage my time, which proved invaluable when reading period began and I was ready to invoke Law Preview's exam preparation strategies right on schedule. By having a firm background on the basics, I was also able to make time to get a head start on the 1L summer job hunt, which allowed me to secure a position with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York, my first choice job. I would definitely recommend this class to any incoming law student! Thank you for an outstanding class.
