I felt that Law Preview was a real asset as far as informing us on how much work is required to do well. I know a lot of fellow students studied the same as they did in college and they did not do as well. Also, the classes were very helpful in giving us a taste of what we were about to get into. I know that I was far more prepared than most on the first day due to the fact that I had some exposure to the course material during the Law Preview class. I know that I would not have done as well if it were not for Law Preview. It really informed me about what was required and how to manage my time.

Law Preview did all it advertised it would: introduced the basic foundations of not only the different law disciplines, but the foundations for thinking like a law student. The faculty were excellent.

Law Preview provided an outstanding overview that helped me get a handle the 1L material as I progressed through my first two semesters, rather than having to structure everything at the end, while under exam pressure. Having that preliminary structure in my head was a bit like having my entire outline prepared before starting class.

The Law Preview course was extremely helpful in introducing the legal terminology that we learned during many of our first year courses. Therefore, having heard the terms once before I felt a familiarity with them and many of the cases that we studied as well which made the overall study of the course easier. Thanks Law Preview!

I was incredibly well prepared for the first semester. While other students were struggling learning how to brief cases and take notes effectively, I was engaged in the material and had a plan in place for achieving my goals. 95% of the cases we covered in LP were covered in my first year classes, and that familiarity was a welcome reprieve from the intimidating environment of the first semester of law school.

Law Preview helped me get good perspective on the road ahead. Law Preview helped explain and set out what I needed to do to do well in law school. Some 1L students undoubtedly worked very hard but did not get the best results. Law Preview gave me a five foot head start on the rest of my 1L class. There is no doubt in my mind many of my peers had superior intelligence to mine and but I was always on top of my classwork, reading and scheduling for exams. Law Preview helps one keep the end in sight all the way from week one to week 15. With hard work and the head start Law Preview provides I was able to end my first year in the top 10% of my class.

We do not rank until the end of the first year, but my GPA is 3.82 (around top 5%). Law Preview was a great warm up for my courses. It familiarized me with much of the legal terminology . . . and I found the test taking tips from professors especially helpful. However, the biggest advantaged derived from the course is probably confidence. There is no time to waste in law school wavering on study strategies, and I felt I went in with a winning strategy in hand.

Law Preview helped me to start out law school a step ahead. I knew what to expect, I knew how I was going to approach the semester, and I felt more at ease because I knew the Law Preview approach had proven to be effective. The strategy sessions were of most help to me, and I also really appreciated the helpful updates throughout the year.

I dont know my class rank, but it was a 3.7 I liked that we went over actual cases [during Law Preview]. So when they came up the second time around, it was like a nice break and I felt like a pro.

Law Preview (LP) affected my experience profoundly. I followed LP's dictates with religious fervor. I believe it worked. Without it, I would not have started outlining as early, structured my time as rigorously, or put so much time into studying.

After first semester, I ranked: 1 out of 64 in Contracts; 10 out of 63 in Property; 21 out of 64 in Civil Procedure; 25 out of 63 in Torts; and 10 out 34 in Research, Writing, Advocacy. Law Preview was a great introduction to studying law. The tips for success were helpful and kept me focused. I especially enjoyed the instruction and advice from the professors. After being out of school for 10 years, I was nervous about diving into law school. Law Preview was perfect for getting my feet wet before the real plunge.

First and foremost, the law preview course gave me confidence. I followed the advise and schedule that was provided to the best of my ability, and I feel that it was the defining factor is my success. I received the highest grade on the memo that we wrote for the Research, Writing and Advocacy class, and the second highest grade in that class overall. I got all A's and B's in all of my classes. I used my notes from the Law Preview course on multiple occasions for clarification on various topics that we covered during the first semester. On that note, I feel that the instructors were amazing in their ability to convey so much information in such a concise and understandable way.

I'd say that the part of Law Preview's course that made the biggest difference in my grades was the clear idea of how much work it takes to do well in law school. While I came in thinking I'd get a head start on understanding principles that would be brought up in class I quickly learned in the first week of school that the study schedule/calendar was the serious roadmap to success and that instructors weren't kidding when they talked about the endless string of 12-hour days. In the end it paid off not because I'm smarter than everybody else, but because I had the right perspective on what it takes to succeed. When others got caught in the typical traps of first year, I received enough warning to stay the course and find high marks.

I am writing to thank you for the Law Prep course that I took last summer. I just got my first-year grades and I did fantastic, top 5%. At the beginning of the year I walked in with the plan and study techniques you taught me. While other students were still trying to figure out how to case brief, I was already outlining. And, by the time most other students began outlining I had already finished and begun writing practice exams . . . Thanks!

Hey Don - I am now officially a walking endorsement for Law Preview!!! I just got my first-semester grades back and I got an A-, B+, B+! I am so excited -- our curve is set to a B and only 11 people in each class get A's of any kind (and my A- was in Contracts, where I was praying to just get by with a B!). I have no doubt that the study habits, time management, briefing and exam-taking tips I learned at your course helped me do this. Thank you again, and please let me know if there are any prospective students who would like to hear about my experiences. . . . Law Preview was the best thing I did last summer (OK, besides the week in Paris). I can't tell you how much I appreciate the lectures and discussions. I felt this extreme surge of confidence right after the class was over and once I got to law school I was even more impressed with how much I was (and am) able to apply.

Law Preview helped me to get a jump start on my courses, and in mapping out a strategy to succeed in law school. I definitely appreciated the week of boot camp over the summer, and the weekend exam prep workshop during the year. They helped me to feel more confident in classes and exams, and played a big part in getting me onto law review. Thanks Law Preview!

The program helped me understand the challenges that lay ahead. Specifically, it was good to learn how to brief a case... since I did not use this format in undergrad, it was nice to know ahead of time the importance of briefing cases. While my law school does not rank, ultimately, I was satisfied with my grades.

It was fabulous, and really realistic about how much was needed for certain placements in class rank. If I followed their advice to the letter I think I could have made the top percent.

I was a Boston Law Preview student and go to BU now. Got my grades back for last semester and they are great. 4.06 GPA!! . . . the summer program definitely gave me a lot of much needed skills and advice.
