Miller presents his program on-site around the country, as does his associate, JoAnne Page.  In 2000, I (again) sat in on the full session each one presented.  These two are magnificent teachers.  Their styles differ, but each is amazingly good.  The program runs on a tight schedule: roughly six hours [seven actually -- LEEWS note], with short breaks and a short lunchtime.  But Miller and Page are each so good that the time passes quickly.

It is truly disgraceful that a LEEWS-type program is not part-and-parcel of every law school's pedagogy.  It is even more disgraceful that many law school professors tell students "Don't take LEEWS." ...  These [law professors] are serious about making law school as difficult as possible for you.

June '05 Letter from a Fall '04 Student who took LEEWS late in the term


Mr. Miller:

I took your class in Miami less than one week before my first law school exam.  Indeed, of my 3 friends who attended, I was the skeptic.  Imagine my surprise, astonishment, etc., when fall grades came back -- A, A, A, B+, B.  I made Dean's List (top 20% of the class)!! 

I didn't think it could possibly get any better ...  BUT, somehow (OK, due to your system) it did.  Spring semester grades came back yesterday, and (drum roll) ...  A, A, A, A, A!!!

I was amazed.  Thank you so much.  Your program was incredibly informative and gave me the skills I needed to perform the way I did.  I still cannot believe how wonderful your program strategy and my grades are! 

It's remarkable how much the LEEWS method changed my perception of law school exams.  Call me crazy (or a complete nerd), but I actually had FUN taking my exams this past semester, in whole because I was confident and prepared, not only with respect to the material, but more so with respect to the method/strategy of how to approach and structure an exam.

I will be a mentor for the incoming 1L class.  I am telling them about LEEWS asap!

Regards, Lauren J. Grous, University of Miami, 2007

[Here's what Lauren said on the questionnaire we handed her at the 11/28/04 live program:  "Very valuable program.  Exams begin 12/3 (next Friday), but I feel as if my possible study/freak-out time was well spent.  Thank you!"]

Selected reactions over the years (click on "Reactions by State/School" for many more):


LEEWS introduces the first scientific approach to breaking the mystique of the law school hypothetical. Invaluable for 1Ls. — Weldon Williams, Harvard '83

I'm a 2nd semester 2L.  I'm kicking myself for not taking this a year ago. — Sean Foster, South Texas College of Law '08 

Very valuable.  LEEWS is the most comprehensive approach to doing well in law school. — Jonathan Thessin, Harvard '04

A fantastic program.  It opened my eyes and my mind to a number of fundamental truths about law school, and gave me the tools to succeed.  Go now.  Don't procrastinate.  It sounds silly, but you really could "win with LEEWS." — Adam Orford, Columbia '06

A friend told me that his friend at Georgetown took LEEWS and scored the highest in two of his classes.  Great lecturer. — Lawrence Wu, Columbia '99  [Mr. Wu took LEEWS as a 1L.  He was editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review for '98-'99.]

Great program!  Day flew by.  Wish I had had this 3 months ago.  Both my cousins will be 1Ls next year.  I am recommending it to both of them. — Brandt Swardenski, Univ. Colorado '06 

I came last year [fall '02] and made Law Review.  It's a great system.  LEEWS did not make me smarter.  LEEWS made it much easier to effectively show how smart I am. — Mike Henry, Villanova '05

The [LEEWS] instructor grabs you by the hand and takes you step by step. You sit wondering why this was never taught your first semester of law school. When law professors teach you how to write exams they basically say, "here are some engine parts. Go figure out how to put it together." LEEWS says, "here is what each engine part consists of and how it works, and this is how you put it together." Thank you LEEWS. I truly feel I have an advantage over my classmates. — Maria Farias, Whittier (CA) '03

I feel like I'm cheating by coming [to LEEWS].  I would've paid 5X the price had I known this course was going to be so invaluable! — Jason Glantz, U. San Diego '05

The mystique about law school exams is perpetrated largely by those who have done well. They want everyone to think that they have an uncanny ability to master the whole supposedly esoteric process. There is nothing uncanny about it at all. It's simply a matter of organization and application. I now realize that I'm as capable as my peers who received better grades. They just happened to learn about LEEWS before me. — Carol Vassallo, Georgetown '85

Wonderful and concise.  It's the first time yet I have felt just a little confidence.  Thanks. — Jordan Ginsberg, U. Chicago '04

The simplest way to convey my satisfaction with LEEWS is to say that not only did the program live up to all the claims made on its flyer, but Mr. Miller was very funny as well! — Jason Peters, Univ. Virginia '04

I learned more about lawyering in one $75 seminar than I did in my entire $18,700 first year at Stanford. — Ann Pease, Stanford '95
