Law school isn't what you expect

Unlike undergrad - and most other graduate programs - in law school, not everyone can get an A. In fact, only a fraction of the class can ace it. And your entire grade depends on one exam. The worst news? It's possible to know the law well and still fail your exam.

That's why it's so important to prepare for law school before you start. If you know how to approach reading and briefing cases, outlining your courses, and most importantly, writing an A exam, you'll be primed for top performance in the most challenging academic environment you've ever faced.

You'll start law school way ahead of the curve - so you can stay there.

TOTAL 1L PREP

JD Genius Total 1L Prep gives you something no other law school prep course does - the full experience of a law school class. Other law school prep programs give you an overview of the law in the style of an undergraduate course. But that won't help you with law school.

  • Read and brief over 30 classic 1L Torts cases
  • Discuss cases in a Socratic discussion - and learn important details about the US legal system
  • Learn to outline your course - and get feedback on your outline
  • Learn the components of an A exam - and exactly how to write one
  • Experience a timed law school final - and get detailed feedback on your performance
  • All classes are recorded in case you miss one or need to go back to review

Taking the 1L prep class made all the difference for my first semester of law school. Seida was so patient and gave me the confidence and skills necessary to hit the ground running - and get straight A's my first semester. I’m so grateful for Seida and J.D. Genius for helping me prepare well for the first season of my legal career!

Everything we went over in the 1L prep class - from study habits to substantive material - was exactly like law school. Extremely helpful! Think of this like a blueprint for how to succeed in your 1L year.

After taking the LSAT, Seida’s 1L prep class was the next step in my progression toward thinking like a lawyer. She taught me the foundational skills that are vital for a successful transition to the start of law school.
