Getting involved with CLEO is quite possibly the best decision I have ever made in preparation for law school.

THE FIRST YEAR OF LAW SCHOOL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT YEAR.

Employers hire second-year law students primarily on their first- year GPA. If you want to stand out as a future employee and do more than just “make it through” law school, you need the right attitude to take control of your legal education.

AIE was instrumental in helping me prepare to succeed in law school. As a first-generation professional student, I felt unprepared to attend law school but after attending AIE, I felt I had the tools I needed. I don’t know where else I would have received the guidance and direction AIE gave me!
