2^nd Year Law Students

Congratulations upon successfully completing your first year of law school. Now that you are a second year student, it is a good time for you to assess which study methods and exam skills worked for you and which need improvement.

Second Year Tune Up

Since first year performance is a strong indicator of whether you will pass or fail the bar exam on your first attempt, the second year of law school is a good time for an “academic tune up.” In the second year, you have less pressure and more time to perfect your study and exam-taking skills. We can help.

At The Skillman Method^TM, we believe that most students could get As, if they knew how to prepare effectively for classes and for exams. The Skillman courses take the mystery out of law school by teaching students a sophisticated approach for excelling in law school.
