[Graduation Year: All]

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would just like to thank you for all help with preparing for my first year at Hofstra Law. I just received my first year grades and I have 5 As and 1 B +, putting me 3rd in my class. Again, thank you, I could not have done it without the class. I would recommend that every first year law student take the prep class, it gives you an incredible advantage. While other students are walking around trying to figure out what is a "brief" I had a strategic plan for the entire course!

Law Preview is a company committed to providing a clear roadmap for law school. Law Preview's founders genuinely care about their students -- this is evidenced by the fact that they invite their students to call them (day or night!) after the course ends. . . . Furthermore, I was able to get the 'best' professors in each area of law to introduce me to the first-year subjects and I was impressed that every one of Law Preview's professors had such charisma and 'stage presence' that they kept me hanging on every word! Thank you again for such a wonderful experience! I would gladly recommend this course to future law students -- but not necessarily the students in MY law school class.

I found the few hours that I spent with law preview more worthwhile than the hundreds of hours I spent in class as a 1L. I highly enjoyed law preview because the professors were CLEAR and DIRECT and that is a RARE combination in law school. I think this course should be mandatory for all incoming law students. In my case, our professors taught us in reverse, so I didn't even get to the bulk of the material covered in law preview until the spring, but it helped me immensely in understanding fall coursework. You guys are doing an excellent job! Keep up the good work!

Nothing can truly prepare you for your 1st semester of Law School, but Law Preview allowed me to get a jump-start on my classmates at the beginning of my 1st semester. While everyone else was still trying to figure out what was going on, I was able to dive right into my courses. Because of Law Preview, I had experience reading and briefing cases, in addition to substantive notes for each of my courses, which I referred to many times over the semester. The briefing techniques and strategies I learned at Law Preview helped me stay organized, and I used Law Preview's proposed schedule and timeline to ensure that I did not fall behind. If I had not attended Law Preview, I may not have received the only A+ in my Contracts class. I would recommend Law Preview to all incoming law students.

It prepared me for how hard I would need to work to succeed, and the time management skills I would need to succeed. It also gave me a nice little head start on a couple key cases so that I was a little bit more ready than the average kid.

Law Preview was an invaluable learning tool prior to entering law school. It prepared me mentally beginning day 1 for what I was about to experience, which I believe gave me a distinct advantage over my classmates. I used or referred to the briefing, studying, scheduling and writing techniques I learned from Law Preview throughout the year and plan to continue to utilize those skills because they worked! I got multiple A's as a 1L. I would highly recommend the Law Preview class for anyone entering law school.

Law Preview was very helpful because it gave me a plan about how to tackle the challenges I faced. The most important aspect that Law Preview gave me is the mindset that I could do this - that I could be successful in law school. It was nice to know that I had at least one person was cheering me on to do well.

Law Preview was really good at giving me a plan about how to tackle learning all the material. Planning is 80% of law school.

At Howard, we do not know our class rank until the end of the year. However, I have received my first semester grades. I got 2 As and a B. Thus, I have an A average!! Law Preview should be required of all law students entering their first year of law school. Why it is not, I have no idea. I simply cannot imagine what I would have done without the formidable introduction to law school and support that Law Preview has given me. I think that law school is difficult even if you have the benefits of an introduction such as Law Preview. I have a pretty non-traditional background for a law student and future lawyer. I spent most of my life as a performing artist (actress and singer). Thus, I was really worried that I would be at a disadvantage in my first year. But Law Preview gave me the confidence and tools to be successful. My grades are evidence of that. Moreover, I would like to commend your ability to bring such an impressive roster of instructors to the program. I particularly enjoyed my Torts professor from Yale. He was marvelous. He left me with such a deep impression of the importance of keeping my moral compass in order as I navigate this profession. Thank You!!!
