Law school in New York rewards a particular kind of thinking.
Most first-year students arrive as excellent writers and strong students. Law school asks for something different, and the curve leaves little room to learn it slowly.
The Socratic method
We help you prepare for cold calls by briefing cases efficiently and anticipating the questions your professor is likely to ask.
From cases to rules
Casebooks teach by example. We help you extract the rules, see how the cases fit together and build an outline you can use in the exam.
Answers that score
Graders reward applying the law to the facts. We practise on past exams until your answers spot the issues, argue both sides and reach conclusions.
Writing that persuades
Legal writing grades and write-on competitions affect law review, journals and job prospects. We help you write clearly and cite correctly.
Students at law schools across New York and beyond.
We tutor students at law schools throughout New York City, Long Island, Westchester and upstate New York, and online at law schools across the country, including first-generation law students, career changers and students who learned law in another system.
We are an independent tutoring service and are not affiliated with any law school. We never complete graded work for students, and we follow each school's honor code.
Law school tutoring: frequently asked questions.
Which law school courses do you tutor?
All of the 1L curriculum (Contracts, Torts, Civil Procedure, Property, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law and Legal Research and Writing) and most upper-level courses, including Evidence, Corporations, Federal Income Tax, Administrative Law, Federal Courts, Conflict of Laws, Trusts and Estates and Professional Responsibility.
Can you help me prepare for law school exams?
Yes, and this is where tutoring helps most. Law school exams are usually graded on a curve, so a clear, well-organised answer can move you up the class. We help you build outlines, practise issue spotting on past exams and write answers that apply the rules to the facts rather than simply reciting them.
Do you help with JD applications?
Yes. We advise on school lists, application timing, personal statements, diversity statements, addenda, résumés and transfer applications, and we coordinate this with LSAT prep if you are still preparing for the test.
Do you tutor JSD and SJD candidates?
Yes. For doctoral candidates we offer research supervision support, help with proposals and chapter structure, and editing and feedback on academic writing for US law reviews and journals.
Can you help with bar exams in states other than New York?
Yes. We tutor for the Uniform Bar Exam in other jurisdictions, the California Bar Exam and the MPRE, and we can advise on admission in New Jersey, Connecticut and other states near New York.
