This program covers fundamental practices that all first year law students must master in order to attain A level grades throughout their law school career.

WHY OUR LAW SCHOOL PREP PROGRAM
Most 1Ls are unprepared for the challenges of the first year. Attitudes and methodologies carried over from college, however successful they may have been, leave students ill- prepared for law school.
This program is designed to give first year law students a realistic viewpoint of how to approach legal education, and the tools necessary to get A's on exams. This program is intended to shift your attitude and perspective, and to help you avoid the pitfalls faced by most students in the first semester.
One of the most common mistakes made by 1Ls is spending too much time preparing for class, and not enough time outlining or preparing for exams. The final exam is the end towards which all of your work during the semester is a means. To that effect, proper time management, efficient briefing and outlining are essential components in achieving A’s on exams. In the How to Succeed Program, you will learn how much time should ideally be spent briefing, outlining, and preparing for exams, and how each of these critical processes can be undertaken most effectively.
WHO IS THIS FOR:
This program is designed to be helpful to all first year law students. In fact, the tools you will learn are applicable for all of law school, and even for much of lawyering!
Second semester students who didn’t perform as well as they’d hoped stand to benefit greatly from the How to Succeed program. By establishing proper study techniques, and ridding yourself of unhelpful habits and perceptions accrued during the grind of the first semester, you will enable yourself to drastically improve your performance for the rest of law school.
New students in their first semester will be given a monumental advantage over the competition by beginning this program right away. You will learn to avoid the all-too-common stumbling blocks and misuses of time that plague 1Ls and develop strong habits from the start.
