As you read through the testimonials below, you'll notice that the vast majority were submitted by students who had completed at least one semester of law school.

I attended the Law Preview session in Austin. I was just writing to let you know how I did the first semester. I attend the University of Houston Law Center, and I received all A's my first semester and am ranked #1 out of 266 students. Law Preview gave me the right mindset entering into law school, and I feel the class was a big part of my success. Not only did it help me succeed grades wise, but the class also gave me a sense of excitement to attend U of H, as there were 3 professors from the school who lectured at Law Preview, and I enjoyed all three!

I felt more prepared because I knew what to expect. I think the class made me feel more confident in my ability to meet the challenges of law school. I would definitely recommend the class to any incoming law student!

[Law Schools: All] [Graduation Year: All]

I was prepared for the first few weeks of classes and I know what to expect from class. The biggest advantage was that I knew how to outline. The study guides recommended by Law Preview are truly the best ones and I used them a lot. Don Macaulay is wonderful! He is so helpful even after the course is over!

—Anonymous, Duquesne University School of Law, Class of 2012

Law Preview prepared me for each step of the first year experience. I was never left in the dark about what I should be doing or what to expect. Most importantly it gave me confidence that I needed to succeed. I believe others lost valuable time doubting their abilities.

—William F., Duquesne University School of Law, Class of 2011

It helped me be more prepared when the first day of class arrived. Additionally, I knew how to pace myself for exams and while everyone was attempting to figure out how to study, I already had a plan and was actually implementing the plan into my study time.

—Anonymous, Elon University School of Law, Class of 2011

Exam Prep. Exam preparation starts on day one of classes. Law Preview taught me the importance of being prepared for classes and outlining throughout the semester; by being habitually prepared, I went into the exam period with a mastery of the material. I used the "DRAC" model in the exam, and it led me to three 'A' grades out of the four major courses I took.

—Andrew R., Elon University School of Law, Class of 2014

Don, I don't know if you remember me--I went to your D.C. session last summer and you were kind enough to give me a scholarship. I just got my grades from the first semester at Emory. You'll never believe this. I got a 4.093. Two A+s, two A's, and an A minus. I am ranked #1 in the class! . . . Anyway, thanks for your help. I know the Law Preview class got me started on the right foot.

—J.L., Emory University School of Law, Class of 2004

Law Preview really helped prepare me for the grind that is the year as a 1L. The study tips and exam preparation workshops gave me a huge advantage come exam time.

—Benjamin H., Emory University School of Law, Class of 2010

The program definitely made the transition smoother going into law school. the briefs I had before helped and doing the work for the week at Law Preview gave me a taste as to what to expect so there were no surprises. Knowing how to study and take tests were also essential.

—Stephen K., Emory University School of Law, Class of 2011

Wow! What a great investment! Law Preview put me ahead of the game from the very beginning. It helped show me what law school is really about and helped to settle my nerves. I was able to hit the ground running on day one while others were wondering what was going on. I highly recommend Law Preview for anyone. The Law Preview instructors were amazing! It was worth every penny!

—Joseph V., Faulkner University - Thomas Goode Jones School of Law, Class of 2012

I am a 1L at Florida A & M University in Orlando. I attended Law Preview last summer in San Francisco. I finished my first semester with a 3.76 and was first in my night school class while maintaining my position as a middle school principal in a school with 1100 students. . . . Thank you.

—Pamela H., Florida A&M University School of Law, Class of 2007

Law Preview was very helpful with my studies. The course covered topics that put me ahead of my classmates.

—Jason P., Florida A&M University School of Law, Class of 2010

Law Preview has allowed to realize the time restrictions I have as a law school student. It taught me how to maximize the time I do have by disciplining my self with staying ahead in class and studying for finals well before the last week of class.

—Dorothy S., Florida A&M University School of Law, Class of 2011

Law Preview was really helpful. After taking the Law Preview course, I went into my first semester of law school knowing what to expect and I had a better handle on how to manage my time and all of my work. I knew how to brief cases, I knew how the Socratic Method worked and I knew how much study time would be required of me before I got to law school. This was great because law school can be intimidating but if you attend Law Preview and really take what you learn there seriously, you have nothing to worry about. I was very happy with the program and I highly recommend it to anyone going into law school.

—Paige C., Florida A&M University School of Law, Class of 2012

Hi Don, I just wanted to let you know I finished strong my first semester. Dean's List, a 3.4 GPA -- all A's and B's. Law Preview gave me the confidence I needed going in. I knew what to expect and had a huge advantage because of that. Than you so very much!

—Gayle B., Florida A&M University School of Law, Class of 2013

It gave me the knowledge that I would be OK after a nine year lay off from school. I think that the test taking tips were the most immportant skill I learned.

—Brandon W., Florida Coastal School of Law, Class of 2009

The materials and "big picture" overview of first year subjects filled a void that can help students be prepared for the piece by piece method that will be encountered in the classroom.

—James G., Florida Coastal School of Law, Class of 2009

Law Preview gave me a head start that helped me learn how to do the things I needed to do to be successful while other students were just trying to figure out what was going on around them. From the very first day I realized the advantage I had, and utilizing the skills I learned at Law Preview, and hard work on my part, I was able to get a 3.5 my first semester.

—Anonymous, Florida Coastal School of Law, Class of 2010

Law Preview helped me learn how to brief and pick apart a case. It also helped me with legal writing. I think the most important aspect of help that I acquired was getting to law school with my feet running. When I arrived, I knew how much time to spend working on law school work each day, as well as how and when I was supposed to start working on my outlines. I believe that Law Preview directly resulted in my 3.93 GPA my first semester.

—Adam W., Florida Coastal School of Law, Class of 2010

Law Preview helped very much! I was much better prepared on day one to begin learning the cases, as my classmates were still figuring out terminology and how to brief. Additionally, I already had begun my outlines using the tips I learned at Law Preview, (once I had the books), and it was a lot easier to stay ahead then how most of my classmates were disadvantaged and thus playing catchup. It was absolutely essential to my success and I do not think I would have done nearly as well without it! I would recommend it to anybody, especially if you don't have the good fortune of a scholarship - it might cost money, but if you are going to pay $100,000 for law school on your own tab - this is the absolute BEST $1000+ I have spent, and the most cost effective means of helping me accelerate to the top of my class.

I just wanted to shoot you a quick email to give you another Law Preview success story. I took Law Preview last summer in DC before my 1L year. Upon starting law school, I felt very prepared and confident, largely in part to the preparation I received in Law Preview. I "booked" a class, and finished in the Spring in with all A's. I started at a tier 4 law school, Florida Coastal School of Law, and have made huge leaps in the law school rankings through my transfer acceptances at American and George Washington University School of Law -- I am still waiting on hearing back on my transfer application from Vanderbilt and Georgetown (my #1 choice). I just wanted to shoot you a quick email to thank you for the program and share some success.

—Ashley M., Florida Coastal School of Law, Class of 2012

I will forever be thankful to Law Preview for my first year of law school success. I was prepared and calm the first day of school. I followed the calendar, posted the checklist in my room and just went from there. I was in the top 5% after the first semester and in the top 2% after the full year. I don't think I would have this much success without Law Preview. I especially enjoyed the emails throughout the year that I received from Don...they kept me motivated and on the right track. Thank you so much Law Preview!
