Boehringer Ingelheim is a global group of companies embracing many cultures and diverse societies. Our legal team knows that in order for the profession to prosper, we must actively aid organizations that promote diversity. When our company investigated ways to truly make a difference in the lives of diverse law students before they begin the 1L year, we discovered Law Preview. We are proud to assist the National Diversity Scholarship Fund and hope that more of our corporate colleagues join us in supporting this critical section of diversity pipeline.
I believe that Law Preview was an integral part of my first semester success. While my school does not issue rankings until the end of the first year I was very pleased with my first semester grades. I felt like I had a true advantage over my peers in law school because I had a comprehensive understanding of all of my courses before they had even started. I am incredibly grateful to Law Preview for all of the great study/exam tactics that I employed throughout first semester.
