[Law Schools: All]
[Graduation Year: All]
|
I attended your course at NYU last August and currently attend Michigan State University. I am at the top of my class and things are looking good for Law Review. . . . The Law Preview course helped out tremendously in achieving academic success during my first year. . . . Thank you very much for your work.

Law Preview gave me a head start on the competition [ranked #4 out of 85 students].

The Chicago Law Preview course prepared me how to study right and stay on track during my first year. Finishing my 1L year in the top 10% of my class was something I could not have done without working hard and following the guidelines given to me in the Law Preview course. Now, going into my 2L year, I have a foundation of great grades and am confident I will be able to get the job I want after graduation.

Law Preview was crucial to my approach to taking exams. I honestly don't know how I would have been able to tackle the exams at all without the guidance I received during the law preview class. It really gives you an inside look at a lot of the ways you should prepare for class that many other students will not know, giving you the edge you need.

I was in a summer session for your Law Preview course which helped me with my first semester so much. I received three As and one A- resulting in a 3.92 GPA. Thanks again for all your help and advice. I really think that it is a great and very unselfish thing to teach the Law Preview course and I wish you the best of luck with it.

I am currently ranked #11 in my class and I attribute a lot of my success to your course. I found Law Preview to be an extremely informative and educational experience. As a result of attending this program, I felt better prepared for the rigors of the first year curriculum and the competition that accompanies it. I highly recommend Law Preview to any 1L!

[Law Preview] helped me realize how to pay attention to the important issues in the case and to make sure you know exactly WHY you are reading each specific case.

Law Preview gave me a fantastic jump on law school. I came in knowing exactly what I was supposed to be doing outside of class - something that, I think, took most students several weeks to figure out. I ended up in the top 10% of my class and received the highest grade in my section in Property. Law Preview was definitely a great investment.

Law Preview gave me the ability to visualize the first year unfold before it took place, it helped me focus my energies on tasks that were the most important, it allowed me to elminnate distractions that can cost the typical 1L study time and energy, and it helped me mainatin a positive mindset throughout the first-year grind. Perhaps most imporatantly, it helped me relax during the first few weeks because I knew the fundamental first year skills while my classmates spent their time in trial by fire. I knew what I expected of myself, what my goals were, and the ways to begin to achieve those goals.

After first semester I have a 3.75 and, although they do not tell us our rank, I suspect it is in the top 3%. The curve here is a b-. Also, I earned an A+ in torts.

I definately let me hit the ground running. From a strategic standpoint, knowing when to start preparing for finals and how to go about it set me apart from my class. My essays were written very clearly and the ideas I expressed were what the professor expected and more because of how I handled the entire semester and not the last 3 weeks as my colleagues did.

Law preview was a great head start for acclimating to the daily assignments and in particular briefing cases. I also found the handouts useful during the semester as I tried to stay organized and prepare for exams. . . . I had to take a week off from work to attend Law Preview so the cost to attend in my case was far more than the tuition. This begs the questions, was it worth it? The answer is, "yes, absolutely." I would take the Law Preview Course if I had to do it over again and I would recommend it to other students preparing to enter law school.

My school did not rank after the first semester.; however, I had a 3.85 GPA, which should place me inside the top 10% and I am pre-affiliated with the Honors and Law Review programs. The most important thing that Law Preview helped me with was giving me confidence as I entered law school. Confidence is very importance, although I have come to realize having some fear and humility is also very important. By exposing me to materials and a style of work/studying that I had never before experienced, I was able to avoid becoming overwhelmed and get to work on my classes right away.

Law Preview helped me feel comfortable going into school. I knew the tasks that were ahead of me and how best to handle them. I understood how to brief, how to organize a study schedule, and some of the basic premises of core courses that allowed me to be able to focus my studying and class preparation more efficiently. Furthermore, Law Preview simply provides students with confidence which, especially during the first semester, is lacking because no feedback is received (except in Legal Writing) until January. I do not know my current class rank because my school does not rank after the first semester, but I finished with a 3.69 and Law Preview played a large role in my first semester success.

Most importantly, Law Preview helped me understand what to expect. This, I think, is the most helpful part of Law Preview. As LP alums, we had a head start in having seen and heard terms that our classmates didn't. We had the benefit of knowing not only what a case brief was, for example, but how to write one up.

Law Preview was very helpful. I heavily relied on Don's advice concerning my study schedule, not sweating over a summer internship, and also exam tactics. It was also helpful having the overview of courses. Law Preview gave me an idea of what to expect and confidence . . . I think it was a perfect program. I was skeptical about spending $1,000 on it, but it turned out to be worth every penny.

Law Preview gave me a wonderful and literal preview of the doctrines, precedents and methods to expect in law school, bolstering and reigniting my passion for Law as an institution-and further dissuaded me of any fears I may have had about the horrors of 1L. The pace was somewhat grueling, but, well worth it-a good way to prepare for the grind of law school. . . . Special thanks to Professor Martin Flaherty and Professor Alexandra Lahav for Con. Law and Civ. Pro.

Law Preview completely prepared me for what was to come. It taught me exactly how to study in order to succeed and gave me tips along the way. Nothing came as a surprise, due to my Law Preview experience, which not only helped boost my confidence, but ensured that I was doing everything I needed to do in order to reach my desired outcome.
—Laurel F., New York Law School, Class of 2012

My academic performance as a 1L earned me a spot on the NYU Law Review (where I'm now serving as an Executive Editor) and I truly believe that I couldn't have done it without your course. Thanks Law Preview!
—Sally K., New York University School of Law, Class of 2001

Thanks to Law Preview, my first semester classes felt like a continuation, rather than a beginning. It was the single most important thing I did to bridge the gap between college and law school. . . . I definitely recommend it!
