3 Books You Should Read Before Starting Law School

“I had been out of school for 4 years when I decided to go to law school, and I was at 5 years out when school actually started. Aside from the LSAT I had not really studied or used my brain in an academic setting since undergrad. At first, I was skeptical when I received info in the mail form Law Preview, after all, I was an excellent student so how much help could I really need. The more I thought about it, however, the more I realized that I could use a refresher. As it turned out, Law Preview was the best thing I could have done to prepare for law school. I was a biology major in undergrad, and law school is a whole other world. Maybe there are some undergrad majors that can make the switch to the thought/writing/study style and requirements easily, but I doubt it. There are some books out there that attempt to give you an overview of what to expect, but I can attest that they do not do the job that Law Preview does. I KNOW that I had an advantage over my peers, and it was money well spent.”

“I really feel like I was more prepared than anyone else in my class. This definitely gave me an edge. After the first year I did so well, I’ll be attending Washington University in St. Louis in the Fall! Thank you Law Preview! [Ranked #1 out of 63 students].”

“Law Preview completely made my first-semester experience. I came in with a game plan instead of struggling the first few months to figure out what I was trying to accomplish. I knew exactly what my courses were going to cover, and most importantly, what I needed to do to get the best handle on the material. I scored in the highest 10% of all my first semester classes and I attribute a lot of this to the preparation I received in Law Preview – especially the exam-taking, outlining, and time management advice.”

“As a 40-year old, returning to law school after having been in the working world for 19 years, I was seriously concerned with how I would adapt to academic life. Law Preview built on some of the books that I had previously read and provided additional insight. I feel that I entered the classroom with insight into what was going to happen. I was not surprised by anything they threw at me. I took the directions about studying to heart, used the recommendations about time allotment, and found that I graded on to Law Review at the end of the year. Top 10% in my section. Law Preview is not a magic bullet and will not ‘get you on Law Review’. But, it kept me from spinning my wheels on the irrelevant things and the email reminders made sure that I was focused on time-sensitive issues long before my colleagues caught on. The Law Preview experience is a great tool to have in the toolkit when you start, but it will not solve anything without consistent hard work implementing the suggestions.”
