If you want Big Law or to transfer to a better law school you'll need top grades. The road to mediocre grades? It's paved with students just like you who thought 1L professors would actually teach them the law and prepare them for final exams.

 

News flash. They're not. And they never will.

 

That's not an oversight. That's the law school business model. 1L year isn't designed to teach you it's built to filter you. Separate the players from the prey. And if you're waiting for a 1L professor to teach you to win, you've already  lost.

​

Big Law, clerkships, six-figure offers and a signing bonus before you've crossed the stage? None of that cares about your second or third year. It's 1L grades or nothing. And that one year - the one that decides everything - is the one where you know the least and have the most to lose.

​

So Why is law school designed this way? Because Big Law doesn't care how well you preform with hand-holding. They want top performers who execute independently, under pressure and without a safety net. Judges? The ones you want to clerk for. Same deal. They're not mentoring. They're delegating. They want clerks who can write a polished draft while they're playing a round f golf. 

​

And if law school's want to keep their U.S. News rankings, they've got one job. Vet the talent. Eliminate the weak links from OCI. Feed the prestige machine and give Big Law what it demands.

 

That demand is how you landed in 1L with no guard rails, no check points and no feedback. Just a one-shot exam that decides your future without much exam preparation for it.

​

Welcome to the game. And if you don't like it, take your toys and go home. Because this isn't undergrad. No graded quizzes, term papers and assignments to gauge where you are. No participation trophies either. Your entire grade - the one that unlocks your future - is based on a single exam. 

​

That's your problem. I'm your solution. Work with me and we'll craft a schedule where I break down every legal topic before you ever crack a casebook or walk into lecture. That way, when you're reading for class? You'll already know what matters and what doesn't. When you're in class? You'll know exactly where the ball is hidden. With that sort of leverage, you can outline earlier, lock down black letter law sooner and spend your time where it counts. Hammering practice exams.   

​

There are two types of  1Ls. The ones that were admitted to pay tuition dollars and the ones that are paid to attend because the law school is betting that they'll be the most successful. If you're not in the second group, let's change that. I've done it before and I've got receipts.
