We have decided to invest in the Law Preview Scholars Program because it helps position students to excel during the all-important 1L year and supports the last, critical section of the diversity pipeline by providing a solid foundation upon which students can launch their legal careers. We are proud to participate in this scholarship program and hope to make a real difference in the lives of diverse students attending Penn Law.
Before starting law school I had no idea what a case brief was or what to expect in law school. After taking the Law Preview course all of my anxieties were gone and I was confident that I could excel in law school. The recommended reading and outlining schedule helped me organize my time (which is one of the hardest things to master during your 1L year) and the e-mail reminders throughout the year gave me the guidance I needed to put my best foot forward in law school. Furthermore, the hornbooks I received from the program helped me master my 1L classes. My high grades from 1L year were undoubtedly influenced by my experience in the Law Preview course and I would definitely recommend that prospective law students take this course.
