Outperform Your Toughest Law School Competition TOP 10% Nearly 40% of BARBRI Law Preview students finished in the top 10% of their 1L class. OUTPERFORM YOUR TOUGHEST LAW SCHOOL COMPETITION Enroll in the nation’s most respected prep course for incoming law students 2016 COURSE GUIDE FIRST-YEAR GRADES ARE CRUCIAL TO YOUR LEGAL CAREER. Any attorney will tell you that the grades you earn during your first year of law school will directly affect your future career opportunities. That’s because the most selective legal employers start recruiting in the fall of your second year; so early that 1L grades are all they see. First-year grades also typically determine eligibility for law review and other prestigious scholastic activities, and many top employers refuse to interview candidates without these honors. Therefore, your 1L performance dramatically impacts what opportunities you will be considered for after graduation. It takes more than desire and will. It takes proper preparation for the challenges you will face. BARBRI Law Preview is your best chance to ensure your place at the top of your class by teaching you how to develop and execute a winning strategy for academic success. Since 1998, we’ve taught more than 14,000 entering law school students how to excel — with amazing, well-documented results. Discover all the advantages that only BARBRI Law Preview can provide. WE’LL HELP YOU OVERCOME EVERY CHALLENGE FROM DAY ONE. Nothing can prepare you for the challenges and expectations of law school like BARBRI Law Preview. Why is a strong start so important? Pay attention to what the experts have to say. “A student’s grades during the first year of law school are extremely important. Top law firms recruit for their Summer Associate programs during the fall semester of the 2L year and often only consider a student’s 1L performance when deciding whom to interview. We have been a proud sponsor of the Law Preview program since 2009 because we know that proper preparation can make a real difference in the lives of students about to enter law school.” MIKE TELLE, ESQ., HIRING PARTNER, BRACEWELL & GIULIANI LLP “The legal market has always been obsessed with academic credentials and, today, few students except those with strong grade-point averages at top national and regional schools can expect a come-hither from a deep-pocketed firm. Nearly everyone else is in for a struggle.” THE NEW YORK TIMES, “IS LAW SCHOOL A LOSING GAME?” GIVE YOURSELF EVERY ADVANTAGE WITH OUR PROVEN PROGRAM. RECEIVE EXPERT INSTRUCTION Some of the nation’s top law professors — recognized experts in their fields who teach at some of the best law schools in the country — provide an overview of each core 1L class. Mapping the “big picture” in each of your courses before you begin ensures that you will not be forced to read cases in a vacuum like many of your unprepared classmates. GET AHEAD WITH PROVEN ACADEMIC STRATEGIES You’ll learn how to properly brief cases, create useful outlines and develop skills for studying more effectively while better managing your time. You’ll also attend lectures on all first-year classes, so you’ll be comfortable with the material well before classes begin. MASTER UNIQUE TEST-TAKING METHODS In law school, your final exams will likely determine your entire grade. With so much emphasis placed on these tests, you need to be prepared. Our faculty of law school professors will teach you our unique method for conquering law school exams — one that goes beyond the typical “IRAC” method many students employ to their detriment. You’ll learn how to deconstruct hypothetical fact patterns and draft A+ answers. Apply for a full or partial scholarship offered through our partnership with prestigious law schools, law firms, companies and bar associations.

JOSEPH DEVINE, PRE-LAW ADVISOR CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY 2 Pre-Law Handbook: Introduction This handbook is designed to take a “deeper dive” than our main pre-law web site into matters pertaining to pre-law interests and needs of current students and alumni/ae.

This handbook is navigable by detailed bookmarks so that you can go straight to those sections that respond most directly to your questions and needs. And, of course, you should use this in combination with CMU’s pre-law advisor, Dr. Joseph Devine ([email protected]).
