The Law School Experience

Law school is demanding and difficult, and only a very small percentage of entering law school students are prepared to succeed.

For nearly three years, law school will overwhelm your life, including your time and nearly all of your financial resources. Success in law school is the only justification for incurring the tremendous cost of attending. To succeed requires planning that must begin before law school even starts.

Today's Law School Challenges

The law school experience has not changed much over the years, but the cost and the competition has made the experience extremely pressure-packed and demanding.

To succeed in law school, it is imperative that you learn many skills before you begin working on your assignments for your first day's classes. Having learned these skills, you can enjoy participating in class and understand the strategy for scoring high grades on your exams at the end of the semester.

Finding an Advantage

Every successful law school student must have developed a number of distinct and important advantages long before stepping foot into a law school classroom.

With the help of nine law school professors and three successful attorneys (a prosecutor, a sole practitioner, and a patent attorney), we provide the advantage you will need to succeed in law school and to go on to a successful legal career.

Law School is Different

Law school is different than most students' prior experiences, but our Academic Success Program will present a few important rules and a group of related legal skills that will assure your success.

A Short, Depressing Story

Sam was starting law school in about four weeks.  She had endured taking the LSAT, applying to many law schools, and finally selecting one. She felt that she had made all of the right choices. Although she faced the accrual of a debt of about $75,000 to attend law school, she took some comfort in having been offered a generous scholarship if she could earn at least a 3.5 GPA each semester. With the law school process seemingly well in hand, Sam decided to party, relax and vacation before orientation. She had earned it. After all, the hard work would come soon enough. She was going to law school to learn how to study law. Why not just wait and see what happens? Although Sam had made all of the right decisions up to this point, she stumbled at the last minute. Upon her arrival at orientation, she received her class assignments. Orientation was fairly minimal and took two days, during which she also had to prepare for classes. This involved around 60 pages of case law. Surprised that the school made little effort to teach her how to study or prepare, Sam felt unprepared and began dreading her first classes. Soon after her classes began, Sam realized that she would need many weeks to recover from this dismal start and that many others would be getting ahead of her. The chance of earning a 3.5 GPA and the accompanying scholarship seemed now to be out of reach. She still had to spend long hours preparing for each class with little hope of catching up with the others. Not a happy ending.
