American University, Washington College of Law

“Law Preview really gave me a head start on the subject matter as well as some helpful advice on how to navigate law school. Being not only a first generation law student, but also a first generation college student, I have often had to figure out higher education on my own. Having the Law Preview experience before beginning my first semester gave me peace of mind and showed me what to look out for in my 1L year and what things I needed to prioritize. This definitely got me off on the right foot and led me to achieve a 4.0 GPA my first semester.”

“Law Preview was a great opportunity for me to be able to get a taste of what law school was going to be like! I had the opportunity to learn how to brief and know what to expect. It was a captivating class and certainly gave me pieces of advice I kept close. I am finishing the semester with straight A’s!”

“Law Preview provided an opportunity to get a helpful ‘sneak peak’ of the substantive issues that were covered throughout the semester. The background information helped get me into the mindset of the topic areas in a way that I would not have gotten without the instruction. Additionally, I used the organizational strategies offered in the course to varying degrees throughout the semester. I particularly liked that the advice was still flexible enough that I could a dapt it to my own method of working and studying [4.0 GPA after 1L fall semester].”

“A year after completing the Law Preview program I am an Articles Editor on my school’s Law Review, an extern with the enforcement branch of a federal agency, and sitting pretty with a GPA I’m too polite to share. I am confident that I wouldn’t have accomplished all of those things if it wasn’t for the instruction I received during my week of Law Preview.”

“Law Preview let me know what to realistically expect from law school. It was shocking to hear the amount of time required to excel in law school. But after hearing from many professors during Law Preview, I knew what to expect from day 1 which helped me stay ahead and prevent me from getting behind.”

“The calendar was incredibly helpful and disturbingly accurate. The study schedule was useful in that it was an extreme to shoot for that kept me the right amount of ahead on my work. Reading some of the major cases before starting the class got me in the perfect mindset for reading. It was a head start that was greatly appreciated. The different perspectives on those cases provided by the professors also gave me some insightful ideas that I totally passed off as my own thoughts in class.”

“I did not come straight from undergrad. I spent the past 5.5 years as an Army Officer. Although school was a major adjustment, Law Preview’s introduction to the subject matter and tips for success were instrumental for me in developing a structure and study plan that led to success.”

“It helped give me a firm schedule to adhere to during the first semester [4.0 GPA after 1L fall semester].”
