Try law school on for size

See what law school feels like \u2014 argue your first case.

It's the closest thing to sitting in a 1L classroom, and it runs entirely in your browser.

Before you start

Get ready for your 1L year.

Your first year of law school has a shape — the same six courses, the same classroom ritual, the same exam style, at nearly every American law school. Start learning the shape of it now, so your first semester feels like a second language you’re already studying instead of a code nobody gave you.

What to expect your 1L year. The full guide: your six courses, the Socratic classroom, and how law exams actually work.

How to brief a case. The reading skill every 1L learns the hard way — learn it the easy way.

IRAC primer. Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion — the writing structure behind every good exam answer.

Cases to know before 1L. The landmark cases your professors will assume you’ve heard of.

0L summer schedule builder. Build a low-pressure pre-matriculation study plan for the summer before you start.
