Boot Camp
Train for Law School Success
Law School is exciting. But it also can be highly challenging and stressful. It doesn’t have to be the way.
Smart learning and test taking skills are key to success. Most students assume that means attending lectures, reading casebooks, and drafting course outlines. Instead, law school rewards students who use those resources to build strong analytical, writing, and project management skills. Recognizing that and growing those skills is far more challenging than just learning doctrinal law.
Academic and professional success depends largely on bridging learning gaps. Top grades are earned by students skilled at thinking and writing like a "lawyer." But the quality of legal writing instruction varies widely among schools. Even worse, many students lack the critical reading and thinking skills so crucial to essay exam success. Consequently, they over-emphasize memorization of subject matter over development of thinking, writing, and test-taking skills. Those students suffer the disappointment of grades that don’t match their efforts while competitive career opportunities slip away.
“Professor Levine’s command of the legal writing process made my 1L year a big success. The skills he taught helped me win the First Year Moot Court Competition, earn top grades, and secure an exciting summer associate job. I was fortunate to learn from him.”
Lawrite’s “Boot Camp” empowers pre-law and 1L students to compete right out of the gate. We begin by helping students understand the core competencies valued by employers and clients. We then teach a process-oriented approach to legal analysis, writing, and project management. Guesswork is replaced with method. Our students draft work product that is legally sound, well-organized, precise, unambiguous, and concise. Armed with these skills, they work efficiently and without the confusion and stress that distract so many others. Indeed, these are the "practice-ready" skills employers expect.
We have more than thirty years of experience training students to achieve lawyering success. That's an easily attainable goal – when taught in a methodical manner. In only five to six sessions, our students learn more from us than most do in an entire law school writing course, including:
• The Challenge of Law School's Learning Gap
• Purpose and Audience
• The Writing “Process”
• Rule Explanation, Synthesis and Application Techniques
• Style Conventions for the Busy, Skeptical Reader
• Study Skills that Promote Efficient, Low-Stress Learning
Our attorney-tutors conduct training one-on-one by video chat at a time convenient to you. Only a modest amount of non-session work is assigned and individualized feedback is provided. Most students complete the training in five to six hours. Our hourly fee is $199. Call today for a free consultation.
