Alabama

University of Alabama School of Law

Tiffany Johnson '08 — Very helpful! Was very skeptical, but it was very informative. Entertaining! I only wish it was longer.

David Mink '08 — Now I know why the upperclassmen who cared about my performance recommended LEEWS.

Kandice Pickett '07 — Very entertaining and engaging. I felt I learned more in 7-8 hours than in half a semester in law school. It was very effective.

Jay Averitt '05 — Miller's presentation was excellent. He keeps you entertained for the full seven hours. I believe the program has provided an excellent basis for tackling exams.

Tiara Young '05 — I was definitely skeptical about attending. LEEWS gave me the precise tools I needed to improve my exam and general writing skills. I am glad I came.

Samford University Cumberland School of Law

Jonathan Wilson '04 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. LEEWS gave in depth analysis of essential study habits my professors merely referenced one time. I feel I have a meaningful way to study for exams.

Jones School of Law

Priscilla Duncan '97 — Without an idea of how to take legal essay exams, I limped through my first semester. This course should be mandatory for all first year law students.

Arizona

Arizona State University School of Law
[Note that ASU students typically order the audio program.]

Agnes Felton 09 (2nd term) — Very enlightening and, I hope, helpful. I'd actually prefer two days — or 1 1/2 so we could practice more in class with feedback. Mr. Miller is fantastic and should be teaching somewhere! (See followup quote following!)

Agnes Felton '09 (via e-mail, June '07) — Your program was great. I bought the audio program [first semester] and then took the live program in LA my second semester. First semester my highest grade on an essay final was 86. Second semester I received two 89's, a 93, and a 95, and I know your program helped. It makes you think a different way about the problems, and avoid coming to a conclusion too soon and ignoring the other side of the argument. I will recommend your program to anyone looking or help. Thanks.

[LEEWS note: Ms. Felton is an older student pursuing a second career.]

Lyle Jones '04 (attended live program in LA) — When compared with my practice exam and feedback from my professor, I can see how much better I would have done and how much better I plan on doing come finals. Thanks.

Joquese Blackwell '04 — Outstanding course! I would recommend it to any law student!

Arjun Mody ’03 — Very valuable. Gives legal knowledge head and shoulders above what anybody else has showed me.

Gale Burks '90 — My grades increased by eight points. I wish I had learned of the course as a first year.

Arkansas

University of Arkansas School of Law — Fayetteville

Carrie Robbins '00 — The program presented a completely new type of thinking for me. I would never have attacked a problem in this manner on my own. It's very insightful.

R. Charles Wilkin III '99 — I feel like I've been given the key to exams that no one else will have. I can't wait to try it out.

University of Arkansas School of Law — Little Rockk

Connie Phillips '00E — I was quite skeptical that spending one day would significantly help me to organize a semester of work. I was wrong. The method is easy, understandable, and can be practiced immediately.

Lisa Walton '09 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Whitney Moore ’03 — This program is essential to a first year student. Without it your exam skills will never reach their full potential.

Jill Stewart ’03 — This class was very helpful. I thought it would probably be slightly boring, but it was fun! Thanks.

Boalt Hall (U.C. Berkeley)

[Click Results — to see letter to LEEWS from Randall Aiman-Smith, Boalt '85, attorney, and writing instructor at UC Hastings law.]

Jim Philiou '94 (who went on to make law review) — I checked LEEWS out with upperclassmen. It actually changed my attitude from fear to eagerness.

Matthew Staples '04 — Very valuable program. I had purchased the tapes, but wanted the "full experience" of the live program. I'm glad I chose to attend so I could reinforce the LEEWS techniques.

California Northern College of Law

Monika Brockway '09E — This course should be a prerequisite of every law school! Well worth the time and money. A professor recommended LEEWS.

Shellie Pyle '08E — Very valuable. I wish I'd known about this when I was researching LSAT/law schools. We were all blindsided on our first midterms!

Ed Wetta '08E — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

U.C. Davis

Christy Johnson ’02 — Very Valuable. Mr. Miller’s approach established and validated his credibility immediately and throughout the day. When I read a comment on the brochure that the "time flew" I laughed. It seemed “canned” and insincere. But I now completely concur. I only wish Mr. Miller taught all my law school classes.

Justin Bosch '08 — Valuable program. Excellent presentation. Particularly liked Mr. Miller's energy and clarity.

Chad Mahalich '07 — Definitely enjoyed this, and I think it showed me where the trees go in the forest.

Greg Adler '04 — LEEWS cleared up the exam taking fog. I now have a clear vision of what is expected of me by my professors, but more importantly I know how to give them what they want.

Jason Baez ’03 — The LEEWS seminar was gold. I went in completely unprepared for exam writing, and left more than confident.

Steven Cannata ’03 — Valuable program. 2nd and 3d year students highly recommended LEEWS. [Mr. Miller] was enthusiastic, entertaining, and insightful.

Empire College of Law

Bill Mullan '03 — Very valuable. [Mr. Miller] is direct and on point with the real issues facing law students — i.e., survival, how to approach hypotheticals with a meaningful system, organization, competence (thinking like a lawyer), and using a lawyer's tools.

Karen Tynan '01E — This is my second time. My average at the end of first year — 74. My average last semester after taking your course — 84. And I think I can improve even more.

C. McBeath '01 — Very valuable program. The IRAC method as discussed in our school does not get a student past the intimidation stage. LEEWS does! Provides a direct approach to writing that first sentence.

Golden Gate Univ. School of Law

[Click Results — to see letter to LEEWS from Randall Aiman-Smith, onetime GG student and currently a lawyer and writing instructor at UC Hastings law, who transferred to Boalt after taking LEEWS (where he made law review).]

Kim Hunter '85 — Without this approach, one has difficulty understanding how to use IRAC effectively, if at all.

Althea Kippes, '93 — All of the 2nd year students I spoke to who did poorly on their first semester exams (about 8) took this program and got on the Dean's list. Some went from low C's to A's.

Scott Temby '92 — I took LEEWS last year, and my grades improved almost a full letter from midterms!

Wesley Hassler '04E — This is the single most important course not offered in law school!

Jessica Franzen '02 — This program is great! I cannot wait to try it out! It has given me a new and enlightened perspective on law school. I love it!

Carol Tran '06 — Very valuable. You [Mr. Miller] are an absolutely amazing speaker! The note-taking and organization tricks presented are the best advice I have received since starting law school.

[LEEWS note: we offer no "tricks." However, going from page-long to 2-4 line case briefs and taking less than a page of class notes WILL seem like a wonderful trick.]

Hui Yeo '06 — It was mostly nothing new that I hadn't already been doing or had considered in the past, BUT [original emphasis] Mr. Miller organized it in a way that made it possible to execute quickly on an exam situation.

[LEEWS note: We think about 85 percent of what we offer is advice that can be found elsewhere, but it has not been put together the way we have. Moreover, the 15 percent makes all the difference. We seriously doubt Mr. Yeo has heard before or thought of, and our unmatched instruction on how to "think like a lawyer."]

(U.C.) Hastings College of the Law

[Click on — Results — to see letter to LEEWS from Randall Aiman-Smith, UC Hastings writing instructor and LEEWS grad.]

Nicole Bussi '07 — Provides information for taking an exam that would be impossible to get elsewhere or come up with on your own. Makes the idea of taking the exam maneageable. Fear is diminished by having the right tools.

Robin McCall '07 — Very valuable. Lucid, fast paced, very funny, and on point.

Jordan Silber ’02 — Your materials promised I could compete for A’s. I didn’t imagine that I could get all A’s – but that’s what I did.

Brian Collins ’02 — Very valuable. 3 people in my study group attended last semester, and they got straight A’s.

Heather Abelson '02 — Very Valuable. I immediately saw what I should do differently. When I attacked problems with the LEEWS tools, everything became clear.

Alex Saksen '00 — Very valuable. A nice balance of clear but extremely useful information and tactics for exams. The program literally brought a method to the madness of law school.

Humphreys College of Law

Ken Hedberg '00 — Excellent. Looking forward to applying principles.

John F. Kennedy School of Law

Ralph Carter '10E — Very valuable program.

Tracy Wright '05E — Boy, I think this is going to be a big help. I'm glad I came.

Lovenia Glaude '04E [as a 2L] — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. Great info.

Dana Dean ‘03E — Very valuable. After 9 months of law school, my friends and I understand we are not getting all we need to excel from our classes and individual study. We need the kind of precision you discussed. Thanks.

Janet McAfee '01 — Excellent presentation. We were shown how to identify less obvious, but critical exam issues by adopting "lawyerlike" analysis. That is, look for additional ways to win your client's case.

Lincoln University School of Law

Norman A. Boatman ’02 (as a 2L) — I did both Flemings and LEEWS. LEEWS is by far superior. I have some learning disabilities, and LEEWS took the fear and mystery out of briefing cases, course outlining, exam outlining, and simplified my writing. I believe LEEWS may save my career. Thank you, Wentworth.

Kathy Bailey '08E — Very valuable. Excellent presentation. Particulerly liked the step-by-step approach.

Frank Denby '06E — I was about ready to throw in the towel, but LEEWS has given me a clear path out of the morass.

University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law

Bridget Riley '99 — A professor had heard good things about LEEWS. Reduced a lot of anxiety about exam taking. I feel more in control — looking forward to "playing the game."

Kristopher Carpenter '09 (2nd term) — I was highly skeptical at first, but after the instruction I felt a hundred times more confident about my essay exam taking abilities. I actually look forward to using the system I learned on my Spring exams!

Jose Diaz '08 — Truly useful way to approach a 1st year filled with confusion. Mr. Miller is incredible. He seems to work without notes or anything! Truly impressive.

Theresa Rea '03 — I was very nervous about my analysis and unsure of how exactly not to be "conclusory." LEEWS has provided a method that I can use confidently in any exam.

Caleb Lihn '02 — The supposed "art of issue spotting" was broken down into a simple method in a matter of hours. My ph3>Northwest Calif. U. School of Law (on the internet)

Andrew Schulman '08E — This is the material that law schools should be teaching! I wish I attended a full term course like this. (Also attended Fleming's.)

San Francisco School of Law

Shari Taylor '03E — Attending LEEWS gave me the confidence I needed to not only take, but take with enthusiasm my first law school exam — a midterm in the next 24 hours.

University of San Francisco School of Law

Rosemary LaPuma '89 — I have always been skeptical of this type of workshop. But I heard good things from friends who took the course. I feel confident I will master exam taking now that I have a system.

Victoria Reierstad '07 — Very valuable program. Gave me the tools not to panic.

Amy Van Prooyen '98 — I learned more in one day about mastering law school than in my entire first semester.

Dawn Balzarano '02 — Very Valuable. Motivated me to welcome upcoming exams as opportunities. Definitely worth the price.

J. McIntyre '02 — O. W. Holmes meets Tony Robbins meets George Carlin.

Santa Clara University School of Law

Susan Lake '05 — Valuable course. Excellent presentation. LEEWS was recommended by an attorney I used to work for.

Nancy Haley '10 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation and materials.

Joseph Myszka '07 — Very good and insightful. Much better than any school-provided program and definitely worth the money.

Patricia Massey ’03 (2nd term) — When I walked out of my first exam I told my study group that I needed a systematized way to approach my next exam. This is just what I was looking for! Now I’m not fearful. I’m energized!

Alex Chung '02 — I think I've finally figured out how to tackle the law school exam monster. Mr. Miller guides you from start to finish in a way you believe will actually work! Now that's teaching.

Stanford University Law School

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

Jacqueline Sutton '99 — Mr. Miller is witty, captivating, and halts boredom as it begins to creep in. I was not going to attend, but I am very pleased that I invested a mere eight hours of my time. The course, inter alia, gives you the confidence to begin to tackle the exam hypothetical. I also liked the way he brought his approach full circle by discussing class prep methods.

Michael Camunez '98 — The best thing about this program is that it eliminated my unwarranted fear of the exam- taking process. I feel I've definitely acquired tools and a method of analysis that will help me survive the exams — and that's a big step up from where I was at 9:00 this morning!

Jeff Jordan '98 — Epiphanous! I expected to be hoaxed, but figured for the price I'd take a chance. Rather than being hoaxed, I discovered how to take law exams. This is the best money I've spent on law school yet. My only complaint — it should be longer (2 days).

Cathleen Donohoe ’03 — I took the week-long BAR-BRI class. I think this was much more effective in preparing me to write law school exams. This class was excellent. I think it will help me be a more effective lawyer as well. Thanks!

Corene Kendrick ’03 — Learned issue spotting (finally!), and in the course of seven hours learned more black letter criminal law and torts from your parenthetical asides than I have all semester. All law professors should be required to attend LEEWS to learn the true pedagogy of law.

California (Southern)

British American University (on the internet, Concord below)

Dr. Marie Miczak 03E — Excellent. Workable solutions for use on hypo fact patterns.

Susan Hornsby ’00 — Very valuable. I was told [LEEWS] would not help, because I’m graduating soon. I am obsessing over the CA bar low pass rates – my MBE’s are better than my essays. Now, I’m not so worried.

UCLA School of Law

Devon Rios '09 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

William Ferreira-Seney '08 — I came in with a pretty good idea of LS exams — IRAC, clear, concise interweaving of facts, etc. I had the foundation. Your program polished those principles through a focused and direct method of attacking exams. I'm ready, and I can't wait to kick ass and take names.

Kristin Wiehle '08 — Very valuable program. Miller knows what we're interested in. He doesn't hide the ball. Thank you.

K. Amar Murugan '00 — I've taken courses from the Princeton Review, Kaplan, and others. This seminar is head and shoulders above all of them in terms of substantive content and the imparted useful skills.

Kimberly Yang '99 — Don't waste time or money with IRAC workshops. I've been there, and LEEWS is much, much more valuable.

James Fitzgerald '01 — Surprisingly helpful. I'm always skeptical of seminars that promise to work wonders, but LEEWS provided easy to use steps to tackling and overcoming the anxiety of preparing for exams.

Jaime Calderon '01 — Very valuable. Cleared up some of the mystery of law school hypos. Established a simple system to break down hypos in easy steps.

Brijida Rodarte '00 — I feel so cheated! Why didn't someone incorporate these techniques as part of the 1L curriculum? I'm a 2L now, and looking back I can see the mistakes I made in writing my exams — mistakes I couldn't have seen without this program.

California Southern School of Law

Rebekah Main '05 — Very valuable program. I wish I could take my next exam tomorrow. Thank you.

California Western School of Law

Gamaliel Gamboa '01 — Very valuable. Excellent presentation and materials.

Thomas Sansone '00 — My undergraduate degree is from MIT. In other words, I was a number cruncher. So the idea of a law school exam intimidated me. After LEEWS, that apprehension has been greatly reduced.

Justin Stecke '98 — I was skeptical of these courses until I had to take an in-class practice exam. Now I have the confidence and the much-needed tools to conquer difficult complex hypothetical fact patterns.

Chapman Unversity School of Law

Carrie Teasdale '03 (taken as a 3L) — Great jokes. Very upbeat and entertaining. After taking so many other commercial courses — I took Fleming, but it didn't help much —, this really helped to pull it all together.

Concord University (on the internet)

Johnnie Smith '10 — Impressive / Erudite / contractually a "bargain" in more ways than one.

William G. Sarm '09 — Enjoyed program and found it very helpful with regard to how to look at a fact pattern and "find issues." I would recommend this program to all prospective law students.

Carol Houghtaling '08-09 — This was fabulous. I very much like the conflict pairing, and think it will make exams easier. Will definitely sing your praises.

Dr. Joseph Francis '07 — Very valuable program. I have never been exposed to this detailed analysis.

Dr. Roy Aranda '07 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

University of LaVerne College of Law

Cora Cooper '04E — Very valuable. I like the feeling that Mr Miller cares about students doing well, rather than this seminar only being a vehicle to make money. This is shown by his availability before, during, and after the seminar.

Nicholas Rowley '01 — My eyes have been opened! It all fits together now!

Janet Lopez '03E — Great presentation. I'm glad I attended . Techniques will be useful.

Loyola Law School

Peggy Drayden '86 — The program was terrific! I was so worried about exams. I had a 3.91 gpa as an undergrad, but have felt like a complete simpleton thus far in law school. [LEEWS note: This was long before grade inflation made undergrad A's commonplace.] I now feel more comfortable with the exam process. Your 3 step approach is VERY helpful! Thanks so much!

Carlee McCullough '98 — I was very skeptical after reading a flyer that looks generically like all other flyers. But damned if I'm not glad I spent the money and attended. You cannot put a price on the information you shared with me today. It was invaluable. Thanks.

Mathew Wong '08 — Valuable program. Excellent presentation.

David Perez '03E — Miller, a cross between Jim Bouton and James Carville, speaks in a frank, concise manner. It was shockingly valuable. This is stuff law schools don't want you to know.

Mike Mense '01 — Cuts through all the possibilities in exam writing. Addresses the nitpicking style required on exams. I would love to have taken LEEWS before I entered law school!

Pepperdine University School of Law

Nathan Mc Murray '97 — I would pay whatever the cost to attend this course.

Mike Robinson '98 — Fantastic — I couldn't believe it! Absolutely mesmerizing! The time flew by! I can't wait to take exams!!

Monica Webb '08 — The program was definitely worth the time and money. I now feel comfortable in gathering the "tools" for my exams. My profs said to never pay for an essay class. Just take old exams and come to office hours.

Gabe Egli '06 — I've never stayed this awake in class! Thoroughly enjoyable and informative!

Gregory Smoler '06 — The first few weeks of law school I was excited and motivated to learn as much as I could. I actually found school enjoyable. Then I hit a wall, and everything became a burden. I've taken some practice midterms, and the only strategy I had to rely upon was IRAC. The "Blender" and strategies learned today will be primo. I believe! Once again I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Bring it on, Professor!

Lisa Rorman '04 — I learned more about being a lawyer and thinking like a lawyer in one afternoon than my first semester of law school. This was extremely helpful and lessened my anxiety about taking my first finals.

Matt Arbaugh '02 — It takes a great presentation with valuable information to hold my attention for 7 hours. This program had both.

Kate Zimmermann '02 — The most worthwhile Saturday I've ever spent all semester! Bring on the exams!

University of San Diego School of Law

Patrick Flynn '91 — The information in this program is priceless. I am surprised that anyone would hesitate to spend what is really a relatively small amount compared to tuition, or the later job-related rewards that high test scores can provide.

Zach Roberts '98 — Mr. Miller has a captivating style, a fascinating, amusing synthesis of Jack Nicholson and George Bush. You have to see and hear it to believe it. You can't afford not to take this class.

Nicole Hudspeth ’03 — Very valuable. I contacted 3 upperclassmen who took LEEWS, and all recommended it. 2 of the 3 made law review. I also attended Flemings [2-day exam writing workshop] in early Oct. The difference between the two is off the charts. F was a good intro to IRAC, but failed to give an effective method of how to issue spot. I like the way LEEWS taught to break it all down. Truthfully, after this instruction I am eager to get my outlines done and to start playing the game.

Amy Boatright ’02 (repeating) — I came before. It was invaluable! Admittedly, I only used your techniques on my torts and contracts exams – because I didn’t practice enough with other classes. Well, I got an “A” on both torts and contracts. I spoke with my torts professor about what he liked, what I could do better. He specifically pointed to my format (your format!) and my nitpicky analysis of each element, and said, “Good use of the facts.”

Jason Glantz '05 — I feel like I'm cheating coming here. I would've paid 5X the price had I known this course was going to be so invaluable!

Melissa Drugan '05 — The presenter [Mr. Miller] was like a stand-up comedian. He made what I was expecting to be a very long day fly by.

Scott Rahn '02 — Very helpful. If you don't know where to start a law school exam, this will get you going and carry you to the top.

Santa Barbara School of Law

Jeanne Regh '07 (as an upperclassman) — Valuable program. You should send me some flyers. I'll put them up.

Renee Malloy (Oxton) (as a 3d year evening) ’02E — Very valuable. I wish I had had this information two years ago! If I had not heard the [audio program] tapes, I would not have attended, and I would not have convinced three others to attend. If I had more time I would have convinced the entire law school to attend. Thank you for developing this. My dean, Heather Georgakis, would like us all to take your course, and I think anyone who hears you will be easily convinced. (You look like Ghandi. You sound like Jack Nicholson!!)

Southern California Institute of Law

Mel Goldstein '99 — I will definitely benefit from the course. The flyer promised that I would attain requisite skills in exam writing and save time. I am certain now that I received "the benefit of the bargain."

University of Southern California Law Center

Melody Bell '04 (repeating) — I took this program before. I would highly recommend it. Not only did it improve my scores, but it helped reduce my fear and increase my confidence.

Melody Bell '04 — I really enjoyed the program. The information was both insightful and useful, and it was delivered in such a way that I wanted to listen and learn. While I am not ready to say I am looking forward to exams, I feel more confident about getting through them successfully.

Ana Gellegos '08 — Presenter's [Mr. Miller] style, manner is outstanding. It is so so much to take in in just one day. It couldn't have been done if the presenter were not as engaging and very effective in teaching as Wentworth Miller.

Mike Norman '08 — Really enjoyed the candor and clarity of the presenter [Mr. Miller}. Just hope I will be able to write with the same clarity and conciseness come December.

Lauren Williams '08 — Very valuable program.

Southwestern University School of Law

[For 3 letters from SW students attesting to how LEEWS helped them get A's, click on — Results — letters re audio program.]

1990 Southwestern dean of students [name omitted by request] to Michael Stone '92, who took LEEWS after a disappointing first semester — "Your improvement in grades is unprecedented in the history of the school."

Michael Stone '92 — You'd have to be nuts not to take this seminar.

Jordan Brookman '09 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation and materials.

Gustavo Aldana '04 — As a Hispanic law student, English was my second language. Thus, writing law school exams was very hard. You touched upon all the points I was failing on tests. Thank you.

Linda Fuoco '04 — If you're after what you need to know about taking exams that professors won't tell you, LEEWS is it.

Dennis O'Neill '01E — Very valuable. Learned more today than on any other. George Carlin would be proud of [Mr. Miller's] delivery.

Thomas Jefferson School of Law

Jenna Allensworth '06 — Valuable program. I told a few friends about it, but they (for whatever reason) decided not to come. I feel sorry for them. This day has given me more confidence and less anxiety about taking exams.

University of West Los Angeles School of Law

Kenneth Tucker '99 — A concise way to brief, analyze, and write persuasive exams — superlative!

Western State University School of Law (Orange County)

T. Q. O'Hara '98 — This is extremely valuable to first year students, but if they are like me, they can't comprehend the value or need. If you master this, you have it made. If you fight this, you will fail.

Chris Dull '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Samyra Porter '06E — Excellent presentation. Great energy and keeping us engaged. Although I generally have difficulty concentrating during any long lecture series, I was still able to take away just a few "golden nuggets" which were real eye openers. Thanks!

Whittier College Law School

N. Ridgely Goldsborough '86 — My initital skepticism was quickly replaced by the happy thought of having tremendous edge over my competition. Worth every penny!

Brian Oliver '97 — Clears up all the ambiguities of law school exams. Should be taught to all law students before they enter law school.

Maria Farias '03 — (As a 2nd semester 1L.) You sit in [the LEEWS program] wondering why this was never taught to you 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." But 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 fellow classmates.

Sabrina Roque '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent style, inflection, presenting. Otherwise length would be unbearable. You [Mr. Miller] make it really interesting and fun, even to sceptical law students. Reminded me of Ram Dass. Should be called the Guru of Law Exams.

Athar Khan '08E — Mr. Miller was so entertaining, I didn't notice how much I was learning. The time just flew! I loved it!

Robert Doble '06 — I feel this class not only taught me a systematic way to write exams, but also the mental state to be in when going into a law exam — a positive one. Because it enlightened me on the rules of the law school game and how to excel at it. Best $110 I ever spent on my legal education.

Grace Rosales '06E — I feel more at ease regarding finals. I feel like I'll have more control, especially with the "tools" I've learned today. Well worth it.

Susie Lee '05 — The program gave a practical day-to-day, week-to-week plan to improve exam skills that was motivating, and will inevitably yield confidence and speed when taking exams.

Donald Sweet '05 — If the "black box" of legal analysis was not explained by professors, or the books on "how to" do legal analysis were lacking, you, like me, may find a solid investment in this class.

Colorado

University of Colorado School of Law

Dina Cannariato '98 — I thought the program was extremely helpful. Not only did it teach me to get right to the important issues in my essays, but it gave me confidence that I am looking at hypos in the right way. This confidence will help me as I head into my first semester finals. Thank you.

Tiffany Taedel '09 — Very valuable program. Presenter [JoAnne Page] had an easy-to-follow teaching style, and always made sure we were able to follow what she was teaching.

Jennifer McGinn '08 — The presenter's [Ms. Page] style was great. Good speaker, interesting, funny.

Mark Loy '07 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Katherine Ross '07 — This program really took the mystery out of class preparation, outlining, and exams. I now feel much more in control. (Original emphasis.)

Brandt Swardenski '06 — 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 them.

University of Denver College of Law

Thomas Clark '04 — Excellent Instructor (JoAnne Page)! Very dynamic!

Rachel Ellis '08 — Valuable program. I do feel like I've got an edge now.

Chris Stroh '05E — My comfort level greatly increased after the seminar. Very well done.

Andy McCall '01 — Excellent program! After almost a full semester of uncertainty, I finally feel I have the confidence to succeed on law school exams and in law school! Bravo!

Adam Rattner '07 — Very valuable program. it calmed my fears and gave me a new sense of hope that I could tackle all law school exams.

Jacqueline Wieronski '04 — Thanks for the belief that good exam writing is possible.

Ron Grieco '02 — For eleven weeks I have been learning the law. Now I have finally learned about "learning the law."

University of Connecticut Law School

Anonymous '02 — OUTSTANDING! Phil Miller, my TA for lawyering process who is #1 in his class, swears by this class. He has been a great mentor, and all his guidance has been great. I feel I finally have the tools to study and prepare for class. I am no longer a fish out of water.

Lauren brown '10 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. I really enjoyed the presenter's [Mr. Miller's] style. I am much more relaxed going into my exams now, and will be able to prepare more efficiently.

Natalie Khan '07 (attending as a 2L) — Provided much needed systematic/formulaic approach to writing law school exams. Wish I had known about this program last summer before I started law school. Facilitator [Mr. Miller] hilarious. If my law school profs were like this, life would be so much easier.

Marlon Munian '05 — Excellent program. Mr. Miller's enthusiasm, sense of humor, and organization made the material enjoyable and understandable. Looking forward to implementing it.

Elina Zak '02 — Wentworth is awesome and humorous. He explains step by step how to crack legal essays (without putting you to sleep). Loved the program.

Vivien Montoya '00 — Valuable training in the methodology of a legal mind. More helpful than all my [first year] lectures put together.

Yale Law School

(Sorry. No signed evaluations from currently enrolled students on file. Indeed, LEEWS does not distribute literature at Yale because Yale is small, first semester is pass/fail, and thereafter grading is broad and non-pressured. However, Yale law students can benefit from LEEWS, the same as those at Harvard and Stanford do.)

Delaware

Widener University School of Law

Brian P. Hughes ’01 (attending as a 3rd year!!) — I’m a third year B- student, and I wish I had known how clueless I was before today.

Danielle Flower '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Latrena Bynum '06 (as a 2L) — Very valuable program. Total clarification on what law school professors expect.

Joseph Conlan '05 — This course provided me with information and techniques that I wish I had learned before my torts midterm. It would have been a tremendous help in raising my grade.

Julie Ufberg '05 — Very valuable. I like that it is a one-man show. It makes the program feel more honest and authentic.

Annabel Lee Fields ‘04E — Offers a new way to analyze law school hypos that is not offered by law school professors. I needed help with analysis, and this was it!

Keith Sklar '00E — Loved it. [Mr. Miller] reminded me of Dennis Miller in his presentation. Very informative and interesting, as well as funny.

District of Columbia (Wash., D.C.)

American University Washington College of Law

Anne Braucher ’03 — The lawyer who recommended the program was right. I came away feeling more prepared than ever to take on my first year exams. I’m actually looking forward to practicing the LEEWS method.

Bridget Rainey '09E — Very valuable program. Fast-paced and content heavy. Particularly liked the humor of Mr. Miller.

Dalia Georgi '05 — After this course, I am actually looking forward to attending my classes and especially taking a law exam using the methods I learned! Never lost my attention with great speaker (J. Page).

Leila Abdi '05 — I came in with no idea of how to approach a hypo, and I have left with a clear understanding of a method I really believe in.

Michele Lee '05 — I've had 3 hours of sleep because of a family emergency late last night, and I've been engaged pretty much the entire time. I feel a lot more confident about exam test taking based on the specific helpful hints.

Anita Horn '02E — Wentworth Miller presents law school — not simply exam writing — in a down-to-earth, methodical, and demystifying manner.

Lucy Cook '01 — A long day, but definitely worth every minute!

Catholic University Columbus School of Law

Meredith Swartz '08 — I appreciated helping out the LEEWS program. I know that at least 3 and possibly 5 of the people on law review with me from my year took your class, and we've tried to spread the word of how wonderful it is.

Michael Farrar '87 — The hardest parts of writing are seldom addressed specifically. Miller goes to the core of the problem, like How to start, How to analyze, How to outline effectively.

Nikiis Harrell '00 — Very valuable. Miller was very direct and broke his method down in a basic, understandable, common sense way. It breaks down the barrier or fear of tackling essay exam writing.

Sandra Mayoral '00 — Very valuable. This instructor [Ms. Page] is superb. I got more than I bargained for.

Georgetown University Law Center

Carol Vassallo '85 — 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 or 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.

Jaime Willis '03 (as a 2L) — As an instructor for a major test prep organization, I have advised LSAT students about the importance of understanding the exam. LEEWS is the method for effectively understanding law school exams. This is an essential first year tool.

Brittany Nelson ’03 — Our Instructor [JoAnne Page] was incredible – kept interest and knowledgeable, clear, and encouraging! I would recommend this to anyone worried about exams.

Lawrence Wu (Columbia Law School '99) — Valuable program. A friend told me that his friend at Georgetown took the program and scored the highest in two of his classes. Great lecturer. (Mr. Wu took LEEWS as a 1L. He was named editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review for 1998-1999.)

C. Winton '06 — Very valuable. Worth the day-long investment of time. Highly beneficial, and believe it or not, enjoyable.

George Washington University National Law Center

[Three GWU law professors that we know of, who have asked to remain anonymous, are LEEWS graduates.]

Sean Johnson '94 — I don't think it occurs to many first years that you can approach a final exam systematically and thoroughly without driving yourself crazy. By taking apart the exam, piece by piece, the exam becomes manageable, and, more importantly, this takes away the feeling of being overwhelmed.

Robert Boden '10 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation and materials.

Kim Clark '10 — Very valuable program. I am disappointed that I did not learn about this BEFORE the midterm. I no longer feel lost about approaching finals.

Elizabeth Gray '08 — Excellent presentation. I now feel I'm equipped with an applicable "attack method" for my exams. Every mistake I'd made on midterms and all of my anxieties were addressed and remedied in this one-day session.

Jeff Showalter '06 — Certainly taught me to love ambiguity.

Van Lawrence '98 — Not B.S. general information on how to answer an exam question, but a literal walk through of a method that can help you not only pass, but excel on an exam.

Howard University School of Law

Loreal Andrews '10 — Very valuable program. New perspectives, new approach. After attending LEEWS, law school exams are not neearly as intimidating. Now I have a plan to attack them.

Albert Asphall '10 — This program is great, especially {Mr. Miller's] style and the knowledge that is given.

Sasha Buchanan '10 — Very valuable program. Mr. Miller's style was humorous, engaging, and informative, characteristics that I haven't seen in most professors. I have to admit that I didn't believe, as he said at the outset, that I'd be excited to use his method on exams, but I actually am.

Damien Giles '10 — Awesome! A Howard Law alum who graduated at the top of the class persuaded me to attend.

M. Moses '10 — Best 100 bucks I ever spent. Really opened my eyes. I know I am prepared for my exams.

Danielle Perry '09 — Very valuable. I can see from these past 6 hours how I am going to improve already. I took a midterm last week, and I see and understand all the mistakes I made and know how to fix them.

Erin McCoy '08 — This program brought clarity to my jumbled mind. Wish I had taken the class earlier this semester. I'm excited to tackle my finals now.

Azizah Ahmad '07 — Ms. [JoAnne] Page was like seeing an oasis after walking in a desolate desert for the past two months. I knew that my page-long briefs and excessive notes from the book were ineffective, but I didn't know a good alternative until taking the LEEWS course. I now know how to use my valuable time more effectively on what really matters — the test. I am excited about using this method on my outlines, briefs, and classnotes. I know law students are broke, but worth the $.

S. Raphael '07 — Excellent! LEEWS is the only thing/program that helped me feel confident about taking my law school exam as a 1L. Thanks.

B. Stewart '07 — I went to the "how to take a law school exam" seminars in school, but they didn't teach me how to do anything. They just told me arbitrary statements like "you need to know more than the black letter law." I was actually told [here] what I needed other than the black letter law, and how to write the exam.

Michelle LaBennett '06 (as a 2L) — Law school is like no other schooling I've ever done. But because of the ambiguity of the law, one needs something to pull it all together, something that helps it all make sense. ... That something is LEEWS. Excellent!!

Natalie Ward '05 — I cannot imagine taking my exams without taking this class first. Every law student needs to be here, unless you were a law professor in your previous life.

Erika Cain '96 — I loved it! Very informative. I'm a third year, and I wish I had taken this my first year of law school. I feel much more confident now.

Dawn Donaldson '02 — Engaging, eye-opening, insightful. My professor took this seminar and recommended it to the class.

Lyn Andrews '84 (taken in fall '02) — I learned for the first time the scientific approach to writing an answer to a legal exam. An older attorney was kind enough to mention your program after I told of my lack of success on the DC bar exam. Your program has shown me in one day what I have never learned. Thank you.

Florida

Barry University School of Law

Ashley Bolender '09 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Brandon Remington '09 — Very valuable. After taking this course, I feel much more confident about taking my first yeear exams.

Michelle Ghedina '08 — Very valuable. [abbreviated] Briefing and class notes idea sounds great! I can't wait to attend class on Monday so that i can start saving time and earning A's!

Robert Bowden '07E — This presentation was excellent and very practical to put to use. It greatly reduced my uncertainty about how to answer exam questions.

Michael Burnett '06 — Very valuable program. More than just a roadmap for legal essay writing — this class created a road in a vague landscape.

Jamie Biancosian '05 — I wish our professors would offer just 1/10 of what we learned in this seminar.

Joe Moss '05 — I feel like I got an A just by taking this course.

Florida A & M University School of Law

Lauren Buchanan '10 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation and materials. Very funny.

Michael Clelland '06E — This instruction is like no other. It gives you a clear and attainable roadmap to a successful law school career.

Tony Covington '05 — The LEEWS presentation is a valuable and much needed tool for law students. I would highly recommend that every law student attend this well put together and informative program.

Linda Hildebrand '05 — This course should be a required class for all first year law students. I loved this class!

C. Woody '05 — The program was excellent. It makes you feel empowered to take and succeed on any exam.

Florida Coastal University School of Law

Spencer Baldwin '10 — Very valuable program.

Ashley Bauman '09 — Very valuable program. You opened my eyes to another aspect of legal analysis.

Robert Bowers '09 (2nd term) — Very valuable if you want an edge on your 1L class.

Leslie Garner '08 (as a 2L) — I was told by an assistant dean to [come]. Very valuable. I liked the case briefing advice. The exam advice was insightful and great.

Rachel Holmes '09 — Very valuable. I now view law school success completely differently and very achieveable.

Randy Richardson '09 — Very valuable. I actually believe that I can succeed in law school now.

Sharlene Stanford '09 — Beneficial and highly intellectual. [LEEWS] is a great tool, conveyed in a humorous yet comprehensible manner, which made the program outstanding.

Alisa Wilkes '09E — The program far exceeded my expectations! Too many programs/conferences advertise success, and I have been disappointed by attending them. But LEEWS did what it said it would do!

Tera Fenixx '08 — This may well be the best ot many, many training sessions I have attended as a teacher, graduate student, law student. It is far superior to law student trainings I have attended at my school. [Mr. Miller] is highly personable and effective, and especially able to make complex, highly viable concepts readily understandable.

Shay Moorman '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Stephen Smith '08 — LEEWS provides the basic and crucial framework needed to complete essay exams — Analysis. Professors talk about how the most important part is analysis, but they give no systematic approach whereby 1Ls can grasp it prior to ruining their GPA. I am very impressed and satisfied with LEEWS! A great value for the price paid!

Brad Thompson '08 — Great presentation of an overload of material. It would be easy to get less out of the presentation if it wasn't so effectively presented.

Averrell Thompson '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Coral Williams '08 — Very funny and amazingly helpful!

Tobias Horne '08E — Very valuable program. By default entering law students cannot see the trees for the forest. LEEWS not only shows you the trees but each branch, and that (i.e., issues) is the difference between surviving and striving.

Lisa Dasher '07 — An attorney who took the program recommended it. It will take practice, but it seems to be well worth the time and effort.

Suzannah Simmons '07 — The confidence expressed by LEEWS is what drew me to the program, as well as the testimonials of upperclassmen. Nothing presented to me by my professors or my school made me feel confident to tackle pre-exam preparation or the exam. Not only does LEEWS express confidence, but it gives you the confidence you need for law school by giving you the proper "tools." I think LEEWS is a must for any law student.

Dustin Ogden '06 — Very valuable. All the briefing I was doing was preventing me from properly preparing for doing well on exams, the real measure of my grade.

David Hall '05 — I thought it was a myth that you really taught so much in one day. I learned more here than I have all semester.

Jamison Harrold '05 — Time went by exponentially fast during the seminar. By the end of the day I felt I learned more than I did the first month of law school.

Florida State University College of Law

Chris Carlisle '08 — Very valuable program. I needed something concrete to improve my writing style. This course gave me something to follow.

Mike Moody '08 — Great program! Miller's entertaining style is fun, but secondary to the insight from his system. I think this can help most, if not all law students.

Karlyn Hylton '07 — [Mr. Miller's] style was great! This was my most valuable law school experience yet!!!

Lakia Morrison '07 — I was sitting in class, and it hit me that briefing, reading, re-reading, and class attendance was not enough. However, I had no plan and no idea of how to formulate a plan. LEEWS gave me a plan and instilled confidence.

Marc Thomes '06 — Having an engineering degree, I appreciate the straightforward logic behind Miller's method. While I may have caught a glimmer of some of the principles involved in LEEWS, the tools provided today are invaluable in knowing how to learn in law school.

Laura Ward '04 — Really enjoyed the presentation. Very motivating. A long day, but kept my attention. I loved it!

University of Florida College of Law

[Click on — Results — for a letter from Earl Christy, Jr. "99 detailing how LEEWS helped him both at UF and on the Florida bar.]

Kristin Carpenter '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. Mr. Miller is very entertaining and organized.

Andrew Pickett '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Jowanna Oates '01 — LEEWS helps alleviate the stress associated with being a 1L. Provides the information every 1L is seeking — from how to prepare for class to how to prepare for the exam. Mr. Miller destroys the "Paper Chase" mystique associated with law school.

Shelton Bridges '99 — This is a program every law student should attend. I wish I had taken it my first semester.

John D'Antico '99 — The price is a drop in the bucket for what you'll learn!

Neil Rambana '98 — I found the course invaluable. It will take much practice to shed the old ways of thinking. Thanks for the insight.

University of Miami School of Law

Lauren Grous '07 — 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!

[Indeed! Lauren wrote us in June '05 (letter reprinted under Results). She received 3 A's, a B+, and a B first term. More practice with the LEEWS system and instruction in spring term (which she described as "FUN!") resulted in all (5!) A's.]

Stuart Horowitz '93 — LEEWS provides knowledge that I believe cannot be acquired elsewhere. I've been looking.

Naeem Bawla '10 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation and materials. More than anything, I walked away with confidence after taking LEEWS. That's something they don't teach in class.

Chris Clementi '10 — Great Program. Cheap. Very helpful.

(Ms.) Randall Forbes '09 (2nd term) — Learning the law was not the problem for me. It was dealing with the anxiety. LEEWS helps me "breathe" easier.

Kristin Ketelhut '08 — LEEWS is fantastic. It explains how to write law school exams better than IRAC by teaching the specifics of analysis. It provides a surefire way to find most/all of the issues and teaches students everything they need to know to prepare. It's the best kept secret in our school!

Jon Mann '08 — Valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Michelle White '08 — I wrote you an exam specific e-mail, to which you responded and gave me an idea of how to approach it. I then applied it and showed my prof, who liked my approach.

Paul Kaster '07 — Given how I felt earlier on this week, I can only say that this program would give any law student a structured approach to taking exams that will reduce stress and allow for a more focused approach to studying for finals. Humorous, engaging, very valuable.

Charlie Whorton '07 — Absolutely the most helpful program available. Wentworth should be proud of how many students he has helped through the years. Thank you!

Joe Jimenez '06 — Very valuable program. I appreciate the fact that knowing the material taught during the semester is still essential. Mr. Miller does not put forth stupid shortcuts that will create stupid lawyers, but a system that will improve the quality of students graduating from American law schools.

Nova Southeastern University Law Center

[Daniel Read, Nova '03, took the LEEWS audio program in August prior to first semester. He repeated live in Gainesville in September 2001. He received all A's his first year at Nova and transferred to Duke. Click on — Results — for a letter from Mike Howard '02, describing how he initially ignored the LEEWS flyer, finally ordered the audio program on the recommendation of a friend, and saw his grades jump "dramatically," including receiving his first A.]

Matt Kunka '06 — Loved it! Wish I'd known of it sooner!

Mike Howard '03 — My grades in subjects where essays were required jumped dramatically [after doing the audio program]. I even received my first (but not last) A.

Joanne Tinsley '02 — I feel I learned more in one day of LEEWS than I did in a whole week of another program I took!

Eric Baime '02E — A great class. Worth every penny and every minute. I will never miss an issue again! This is what every law student needs to know.

Emanuel Anton '01 — An extremely effective method that breaks down all the elements of exams and builds confidence to manage each element.

Cerille Nassau '98 — Gave me a blueprint for the final. Everyone talks about IRAC, but no one shows you how. Mr. Miller's method teaches you how.

Saint Thomas University School of Law

Nikasha Wells '06 — I looked forward to this presentation for about two months, and it (and the instructor [Mr. Miller]) exceeded all my expectations. I don't know how well I will do on my first set of exams, but I know it will be better than I would have without the program.

Sherifaj Alare '06 — I truly gained all of the knowledge that I need to execute a law school exam.

Michelle A. Allen '02 — Clear concise. A more informative, thought-provoking day than a whole week of another program I took!

Ileana Ruiz '02 — I flew to NYC just for this course. It was well worth it. Unfortunately, some students that registered for the Miami seminar did not attend, because a (2L), Dean's fellow discouraged their attendance. It was a mistake.

C. J. Mooney '00 (as a 2L) — Excellent program. Miller has devised an efficient way to wade through the knee-high grass of facts and issues to get to the elements professors want addressed.

Lynn Rhodes '98 — W. Miller's energy and expertise moved the day along so fast that the 8 hours seemed equivalent to one class at school. I left with more energy and excitement about law than I've ever had before.

Stetson University College of Law

Bobby Vaughan '08 (as a 2L) — Very valuable. Mr. Miller wastes no time getting to the game and the fundamentals required to win. He is a dynamic coach, a master teacher.

Keith Appleby '04 (as a 2L) — Awesome and entertaining. Taught me to work smarter and focus on what is important for law school exams.

Shakonda McDaniel ’02 (as a 2L) — I actually was taught how to write my exams. I’m impressed. Who knew taking a law school exam could be so sensible.

Christopher Boswell ’02 — Very valuable. Breaks IRAC into something that works. I was afraid to take this course my first semester, because “I didn’t have time.” In reality this was the most effective day I have spent in law school so far.

Sharon Hines '98 — I knew by lunch break that I had made a good investment. I have only been in law school 3 or 4 weeks — and was stressed to the max! IRAC was not enough. And this confirmed that for me.

Emory University School of Law

Kathy Herbert '98 — I taught Argumentation and Analysis at Georgetown University. In more than 20 years as a professor I've not seen a more succinct or helpful discussion. Many thanks.

Robert Thay '96 — I took this course again as a refresher, because I felt the program worked so well last year. This material is crucial to law school, but is somehow overlooked by all other sources, programs, and the law school itself.

R. Marsden '98 — Gave a clear method of dissecting and answering exam questions. Gives structure to the most important part of law school, and the area almost completely ignored by professors. Gives the tools to excel at the single most important and least discussed task in law school — exams.

Eric Kaufman '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent teacher [Mr. Miller].

Nirvana Harris '06 — Valuable program. Wentworth Miller is very interesting and funny. The method seems like it will be helpful, and I now think I have a better handle on how to format the exam.

Lauren Sable '06 — This program calmed me down just when I was starting to freak out about law school. Mr. Miller was extremely entertaining — made the day go by quickly.

Teresa Lazard '04 (as a 2L) — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. The 1L who took your course got an A in my torts class at IUB.

Angela McCord '04 — Thanks. I really enjoyed the program. I think it will make an incredible difference in my law school career.

Georgia State University College of Law

[It came to our attention that the students ranked 1, 2, and 3 in the GSU class of '02 all took LEEWS as 1Ls. A student in one program was certain that the exam that got the highest grade in her torts class last fall was written in the distinctive LEEWS format.]

Elizabeth Cooper '04 — Very valuable. Two lawyers recommended LEEWS highly. After being convinced that there was no way to sift through the volumes of reading and writing in law school, I came to this program. I only wish I had this course before taking class notes for six weeks.

Ruth Hughes '10E (2nd term) — Thank you for this class. I think you may have saved my career (and my sanity). I think I will take this again in the fall as a refresher.

Sean Foster '08 (as a 2L) — I'm a 2nd semester 2L. I'm kicking myself for not taking this a year ago.

Chonta Clemons '08 (2nd term) — I had no idea how to approach my fall semester exams. After attending LEEWS I actually feel like I have a workable roadmap to prepare for spring exams.

Elizabeth Li '08 (2nd term) — A systematic approach that gives a strategy to attack an exam. Results in a clear, concise answer.

Dustin Covello '08 — Very valuable. Mr. Miller seems a little abrasive, but structure is great.

Alcide Honore '07 — Miller's style is engaging in a similar manner as a good law professor. He presents components of the LEEWS program in digestible nuggets while constantly keeping focus on the "big picture." I would recommend LEEWS highly.

Jaime Wojdowski '07 — Very valuable. I particularly liked that this can be applied to any exam question. So helpful to see the big picture.

Sheila Rambeck '06 — Very valuable program. Good rep among alumni. LEEWS gives advice on in depth analysis of issues (premises) that I had never considered.

Tiffany Carlisle '05 — I truly enjoyed the program. Mr. Miller was exciting and made the material interesting. After taking this course, I feel I have "The Right Stuff."

Ashley Baker '03 — Really is a motivational course to get you thinking about exams and preparations. Also boosts confidence about law school. After being drilled and grilled in class amongst peers, I developed a fear of asking for help. This provides an outside way to ask all those "dumb" questions.

Margaret Carpenter '00 — Mr. Miller is an entertaining instructor, whose wit on a rather weighty subject — surviving exams — is appreciated. Although I'm not eagerly anticipating this semester's finals — yet, my "fear and loathing" have greatly diminished.

University of Georgia School of Law

[It has come to our attention that the 2007-2008 ed-in-chief of the UGA Law Review is a LEEWS grad! Frankly, not a surprise.]

S. Aliya Charlery '10 — My best investment in law school thus far. definitely feel I gained an advantage and a strategy to work from.

Sarah Kelman '05 — You'd think sacrificing a Saturday mid semester is too much to ask. But it was worth every minute (and getting up early on a day I could have slept in).

Dylan Howard '02 — Effectively turned a feeling of helplessness to one of mastery. Extremely helpful and worthwhile. Not to mention Mr. Miller sounds just like Jack Nicholson, which is extremely entertaining.

R. Alembik '91 — I hate to say this, but I definitely won't recommend this course to law school friends. It's too powerful.

John Marshall Law School

Corey Martin '09 (2nd term) — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation and materials.

Neethu Venagopal '09 (2nd term) — Very captivating speaker [Mr. Miller}. I am more confident than ever in taking my final exams. I am very fortunate to have heard about this course. Thank you so much.

Mark Anthony '09E — Valuable program. Mr. Miller's credibility comes through from his opening remarks. No student should have to slog through an essay exam before being exposed to premises arguments and counterarguments. Nice energy for a full day!

C. Henry '09E — Very valuable program. Very intriguing presentation of a simple approach. [LEEWS note: The individual facets of LEEWS can seem common sensical, even simple — e.g., "identify premises, analyze each in concise paragraphs." Overall, however, the "how?" requires much instruction, and the approach is sophisticated.]

Cynthia '08 (as a 2L) — The program offered several time-saving techniques that get to the heart of what's asked in exams. I thought it was very informative. I would highly recommend.

Hilary Smith '06E — After an albeit grueling day, I feel well armed and further empowered to handle law school exams and compete and succeed as a student. Thank you.

Neera Bahl '01E — Very valuable. I liked the sense of humor in Mr. Miller's presentation. Kept us interested every moment of the day, yet delivered invaluable guidance. I'm delighted I attended, and am actually looking forward to writing an "A" exam. Thanks.

Mercer University School of Law

Jeannette Salter '10 — Very valuable program. Mr. Miller kept me engaged through the entire session with his energy, sense of humor, and valuable and logical points.

Ed Bonapfel '09 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Chris Porter '09 — Valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Andrew Beasley '08 — Very valuable program.

Courtenay Miller '08 (2nd term) — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. I would have preferred a 2-day course (same amount of time though).

Eric Trivett '08 — Superb. My professors had "heard good things." A good, comfortable framework from which to begin. many thanks.

Jamila Wideman '08 — Valuable program. One professor had heard LEEWS was good. Two hadn't heard of it.

Alan Fowler '06 — I took this as a prelaw last fall. I practiced extensively and got an A on my Intro to the Study of Law exam. I found taking the course a second time to be equally enlightening as the first time, and a motivating factor for my exams in December. Worth every penny and every minute both times!

Jeffrey Kolokoff '06 — Very valuable program. When I took my first exam (in introduction) I was scared, but did fairly well. After receiving an A I was afraid that I had nowhere to go ut down. After this program I feel confident that with practice, I can continue to compete at the top of my class. I can say that even though 35 other 1Ls from my school attended.

Kathy Harrington '05 — Very valuable program. Mr. Miller was very effective in conveying important information — very strong speaker. Even though I was tired toward the end, he kept my attention, and the day was fun.

Michelle McDonald ’03 — This program gave the first concise format to follow when preparing for and taking exams. I feel more confident in having attended, and would recommend it highly to others.

Jennifer Moore '01 — I got my money's worth in the first hour.

Katherine Neville-Franklin '01 — I came in feeling law school was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. After what I've heard today, I have real hope that I can make it out alive and maybe even do well.

Justin Heideman '00 — I almost didn't come. But once here the light bulbs just kept flashing on over and over. I learned more about the test in 8 hours than in 5 weeks of law school.

University of Chicago Law School

M. Arnold '93 — How wonderful to find, finally, someone on our side! Much less nervous about facing an exam now that I know how to deal with one.

Rob Goldbaum '92 — Just knowing that you have a plan — i.e., the steps — keeps you from worrying about panic.

David Potterbaum '05 — Mr. Miller is energetic and engaging. His systematic approach to attacking essays reduces uncertainty and nervousness. Great job, LEEWS!

Jordan Ginsberg '04 — Wonderful and concise. Particularly liked breaking exams down into something manageable, mathematical. It's the first time yet I have felt just a little confidence. Thanks.

Thomas McLaughlin '04 — If you took an LSAT prep course, then you know why you should take this course too! Now I feel confident, even excited about taking finals!

IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law

Dr. Clifford Kraft '96E — I took LEEWS first semester. Since then I've received five A's and a B+, directly attributable to your methods. While others sweat and groan, I cooly write meaningful, organized answers. Thanks for the edge. The small amount you charge is one of the bargains of the century.

Pamela Jones '02 — I've attended several exam-taking workshops. Each said issue spotting was important. No one offered instruction on issue spotting. LEEWS had a system for it.

That gave me the confidence I could attack any hypo aggressively and effectively.

Maura C. '09 — Your [Mr. Miller's] presentation was engaging, insightful, and practical. You were right — I am lookinf forward to at least practicing exams, and even taking them. Thanks so much.

John Kunes '09 — Very valuable program. Mr. Miller's presentation is extremely engaging. I already own the audio program, but it was well worth it to attend the live program as well.

Denita Dorsey '08E — LEEWS made exam writing simple, concise, and effective. The techniques LEEWS teaches are invaluable.

Ken Jackson '08E — I found this program helpful. As an evening student, I especially liked learning legal reasoning and exam taking. I can be more efficient with this system. Can't wait to take exams.

Sean Iske '06 — Comprehensive and relevant! Anxiety about the "horror of law exams" was greatly reduced. Worth 5 times the fee in piece of mind alone!

Kim Jones '05E — I highly recommend this course. It relieved the "disease" of the mystical law exam as "uncharted territory" in comparison to exams taken up to this point.

Erin Krone '05 — Very valuable program. Very humorous and entertaining, realistic and helpful. Thorough. Applies to all aspects of law school. If my professors taught as clearly, law school would be a breeze.

Tiffany Booker '02 — Excellent. You did what our school seminars on exam taking didn't. I now know what "IRAC" stands for, ... how to use it and apply it.

Depaul University College of Law

Frank Hattula '04E (taken as a 2L) — Instructor was very engaging. I found myself thinking, "Oh, so THAT'S how it is supposed to be done." After three years of taking exams on my own, I have added an arsenal of incredible tools. Thanks. My final two years should be much more successful.

Monica Kaye '10 — Very valuable program. Particularly liked the in depth approach and visual aids.

Kelly Llorens '06 — After taking the first set of exams, I now realize what I did wrong. Can't wait to plunge into exams this year.

Paul Daugherty '05 — I wish I'd taken this before my first semester or sooner! This class has provided me with all of the tools to do well, and has removed the frustration I experienced with law school exams.

Joseph Emmerth '05 — Presentation was great! I look forward to crushing my peers.

Charlie Bachtell '03 (as a 2L) — Presentation is so captivating I'd do the program again. I'm actually looking forward to exams this year.

Matthew Beese ’02 — You’re like the Tony Robbins for law students. Should be required for 1Ls.

University of Illinois School of Law

Brandon DeBerry '08 — I especially appreciated Miller's insights into the types of things that professors say when describing their own exams. He explained the rationale behind these statements and how to approach those professors' exams specifically.

Russell Knight '06 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. It would be my privilege to be a LEEWS rep.

Cori Brown '05 — LEEWS gave me a confidence in and control over law school finals that no amount of studying could have. Thank you.

Vanessa Caleb '97 — LEEWS is a necessary component to a complete legal education. Learning the law all semester does little good, if you don't know how to effectively apply it to an exam question.

David Barrocas '01 [taken as a 2L] — It was just what I was looking for — answered all my questions in 1 day, ... what [another program] didn't do in one week!

John Marshall Law School

Regina Calcagno '07 (as a 2L) — I ordered the audio program after my first year grades were considerably lower than expected. During the summer semester after listening to the program, my gpa jumped 3/10 of a point. I can't wait to apply the LEEWS method to this semester's finals.

David Mullins '09E — Eye opening. Entertaining and enlightening. I look forward to exams and law review.

Frank Vosholler '06 — Excellent rendition of how to be more precise in writing for both exams and legal writing!

Delilah Lomax '05 — This program helped fill the gaps. I really liked the program, and feel as if I learned a lot of insider techniques. This is my second semester of law school, and one of my biggest concerns is that Legal Writing doesn't really teach concrete methods for test taking.

Carol Nordhaus '05 — Miller is an engaging, practical speaker. Presents a clear, practical system. No theories, just what to do!

Barbara Dunlop '04 (as a 2L) — I'm sorry that I became aware of the program so late in my law school career. It would have been tremendously helpful when I was a prelaw or 1L. Very well organized and presented. Looking forward to applying principles.

Aleido Barrera '05 — I've taken one semester, and my exam writing was all over the place. I feel more confident, because I now know how to attack the exam.

Loyola University School of Law — Chicago

Eric Owens '00 — I teach for The Princeton Review. LEEWS demystifies the law school exam with the same kind of intellectual analysis and humor and (almost) fun that The Princeton Review demystifies the SAT. It's invaluable information. I recommend it to every law student who wants to make top grades.

Alec Egizi '08 (sat live after doing audio program) — Very valuable program. Very systematic, lots of practice, small discreet steps. UBE helps write in active voice among other things. My first attempt at a legal memo followed many LEEWS ideas. My memo was used as a "good example" in class. The teacher asked, "Where did you learn to write like this?"

[LEEWS note: "Ugly but effective" = LEEWS format for learning and presenting analysis in concise paragraphs.]

Chris Shelton '10 — Valuable program. Good presentation.

Aaron Cole Johnson '08 — Mr. Miller absolutely empathized with my anxiety. He seemed to read my mind during my midterm last week! I feel that I have a much more comprehensive framework now with which to attack my exams in December.

Ruth Solomon '08E — Very valuable program. Instructor [Mr. Miller] was awesome!

Ray Sagun '07 — The LEEWS method is 1) easy to understand, 2) systematic, and 3) easy to apply.

Cheystan Carlton '06 — Very valuable program. Really filled in the blanks of IRAC. In school everyone says "IRAC, IRAC, IRAC," but they don't tell you the what of what comes first.

Ram Natarajan '04 — Excellent presentation. Helps provide a great approach to exam writing, and really delves into analyzing the instructor's needs. Overall — outstanding!

Jackie Cyriac '02 — LEEWS is the legal community's best kept secret. Miller's tips demystify the law school essay exam.

Ellen Sugrue Hyman '96 — Presenter very articulate. I especially liked the presentation of steps 1 and 2, the in depth teaching of skills involved, and the direct method (steps) of attacking exams without feeling overwhelmed.

Northern Illinois University

Craig Boston '09 — Very valuable program. The instructor [Mr. Miller] is very energetic and lively. The presentation was both informative and interesting. I am looking forward to applying the concepts and principles taught in the class.

Stephen Clark '08 — This course is great. I was able to put together what I need to do to be a capable student who can act like a lawyer. I was lost and not engaged with my classes before. Now I have a plan.

Luke Niemiro '08 — Valuable program. I thought the instructor was very charismatic. He used much of his enthusiasm to not only keep the classes attention, but to prove his point.

Adam Watson '08 — For the first time I actually feel like I have the ability to break down and defeat hypos. Had I implemented this system back in 2003, I wouldn't have failed out of school.

Rachel Conradt '07 — When I came to law school I was misled into thinking about "case law history" excessively. Now I really see how to determine the "real" black letter law and how to apply it to bizarre exam questions.

Kim Sackman '07 — I feel a lot more confident going into my exams. There really is a lot more to exams than IRAC.

Elizabeth Nixon '06 — This was really helpful! I need to practice though. I would definitely be a LEEWS rep.

Angela Watkowski '05 (as a 2L) — Valuable program. Good pace. Pointed out what I've been doing wrong and how to correct it.

Scarlett A. Puckett '05 — Very valuable. I was told by a friend that if I didn't do anything else, I needed to take the LEEWS course and learn it and black letter law cold. Mr. Miller was energetic, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Northwestern University School of Law

Jennifer Watson '01 — I found the discussion of conclusory v. analytical extremely helpful. I was having a problem with being conclusory, but my professors never explained how I was not analytical. This clear distinction you taught addressed my major weakness. Thank you.

Cassidey Davis '10 — Very valuable program. I knew my preparation was ineffective. I just didn't know why. This course put everything into perspective and showed me how to work smarter, not just harder. To date, this is the most productive day I have had as a 1L.

Yondi Morris '10 — LEEWS was very helpful I am excited about applying what I learned today on practice exams and finals!

Merlin Camozzi '06 — Very valuable. The best part was that it was taught by the guy who developed the program, rather than some lackey who doesn't really care about the program.

Ellen Endrizzi '02 — A full day of important information, without a moment wasted. Throughly engaging and relevant. I am no longer so wary of my exams.

Southern Illinois University School of Law

Dennis Barnard '06 — Valuable program. Mr. Miller was very entertaining and kept my interest. I think this can work if I put in my work.

Tracy Loos '98 — Very valuable, interesting, easy to follow. The presenter was very well prepared.

Indiana

I. U. — Bloomington School of Law

Lance Lindeen '10 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation and materials.

Bryan Hamblin '07 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. Especially liked learning tools that help lead to the close (& beautiful) lawyerlike analysis.

Deborah Mesdag '06 — Very valuable program. Great presentation. Packed with real advice on how to do well. I took both Law Preview and LEEWS. Law Preview was good at many things, but LEEWS gave me the tools I need day to day in learning the law and preparing for exams.

Tracey Wilson '06 — The live presentation is awesome! I'm glad I chose it over the tapes.

Pamela Shipp '06 — Very valuable. Emphasis on how to learn black letter law and apply it to hypotheticals and class preparation. Demystifies many "terms" that float around law school. I have a math/science background, so formula for writing exams is just what I needed.

Megan Tucker '05 — Recommended by an upperclassman. Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Daniel Meadors '01 [taken as a 2L] — I suddenly feel invigorated and empowered — more confident about what I will accomplish in upcoming exams.

Joann Helferich '99 — The presentation opened my eyes to a whole new way of tackling law studies. It was presented in a fun manner, and helps to relieve the confusion of first year. I was truly skeptical at first, but it was worth the money.

Kyra Steward '99 — I learned more about exam writing in one day from LEEWS than from the whole semester with my professors.

I. U. — Indianapolis School of Law

(Ms.) Portland Schnitzius '93 (who made law review) — This is guidance I've been unable to obtain anywhere else. Even in talking with the successful "law review" types, no concrete advice is to be had, because they have no idea how (exactly) they did it — i.e., no system! I'm actually looking forward to taking exams. Thank you!

Justin Hall '05 — Valuable program. Excellent presentation. Enjoyed it, Mr. Miller!

Deb McKee '05 — Very valuable! I love the disciplined method.

Amber York '00 — Excellent! A priceless boost to my confidence after a shaky first semester. Much of my fear was replaced with enthusiasm and a desire to jump into law school exams again. It was also fun.

University of Notre Dame Law School

Matthew Pepping '08 — I enjoyed the program. I wish it had been offered the summer before my 1L year began. I have more confidence, especially worrying less about case briefing and more about gathering "tools."

John Gunnigle '06 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. Particularly liked the shock value of the program.

Hillary Maki '06 — Instructor [Mr. Miller] is enthusiastic but not overbearing. I feel much more confident about approaching exams, but know that I have a lot to do.

Esther Slater ’03 — A TA on law review recommended the program. I liked the direct, to-the-point approach. Gave me a plan of attack.

Darrell Taylor ’03 — This blueprint is what I was missing. I’ve been able to grasp classes, but I had no idea how to display what I knew on an exam.

J. Davidio '01 — Phenomenal presentation. The LEEWS method has empowered me to take my first semester exams with great confidence.

Valparaiso University School of Law

Angela Crossin '02 — Very valuable program. I quickly learned that law school was not about spending hours briefing cases, nor making yourself known to professors. It was nice to have professional affirmation.

Carla Morgan '06 — I really feel this has been useful. Very thorough. Helped me make sense of what I'm doing in class. It's like the difference between practicing scales versus learning to play a song. It really helps one understand and prepare for "performing" on exams. Thanks a lot!

Jordan Mayer '05 — Mr. Miller's dynamic public speaking skills and use of comedy in his presentation were extremely helpful in learning the LEEWS way. The LEEWS system is a "Lawyerly fishing rod" which helps to hook the "A analysis" in a sea of "Abstract Professor Babble."

James Rowings '04 — Very valuable. The style of delivery with the abundant humor kept it interesting. There are a lot of good tips and strategies that I see can be helpful, yet I have no idea where they would have come from if I had not taken this program. I'm looking forward to applying what was presented.

Tom McMahon '01 [taken as a 2L] — Would highly recommend this course to others.

Shingai S. Giurira '97 — Very valuable. Particularly liked the focus on application of law. Very much enjoyed presenter's style — kept it interesting throughout. He knew perfectly what I, as a first year, was going through. Very reassuring.

Kansas

University of Kansas School of Law

Mike LeCourt ’03 — Very valuable program. Extremely logical and follow-friendly. Common sensical approach really cuts through to important “need to know” content. A personal recommendation from an upperclassman was invaluable in persuading me to come.

Joshua Monteiro '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Mark Eldridge '05 — The presentation wa lively, entertaining, and thought provoking. LEEWS provides a quick recipe to not only analyze, but extends one's mind in argumentation.

John Winegar ’02 (as a 2L) — I’m surprised how much more confidence I have after one day of instruction. The program delivers.

Deland J. Shore '02E — Very helpful. Now I have a basis point for outlining, studying, and taking my exams. I feel much more confident.

Washburn University School of Law

Nicole Edwards '06 — The class has relieved a lot of my anxiety and made me feel more confident to compete for A's.

Kimbra Caywood '05 — Thanks for the new insight. I look forward to tackling my exams with skills that will put me at a level above my classmates.

Darla Goodrich '05 — Very interesting! Excellent material! Engaging delivery! Well worth the time and money! I can use this throughout law school.

Andy Wimmer ’03 — After 8 hours with Wentworth Miller, I am now confident that I can attack exams in December and rise to the top of my class. I was nervous about the exam format in law school, but because of Miller’s teachings, I say “BRING IT ON!!!”

Ann DeAngelo '99 — I cannot imagine taking an exam without using this process.

Mike Gayoso '99 — The course is comprehensive, engaging, and thought provoking. If someone is looking for not only a bargain, but a test taking learning experience, then look no further.

Mary Ellen Stanley '99 — Like having a lawyer in the family, and worth the price.

Kentucky

University of Kentucky College of Law

T. Baskin '00 — I stayed interested throughout the program. I can already see where I went wrong last semester, and how I can get to where I want to be this semester.

Matthew Boyd '99 — I was thoroughly enlightened! I came in as a 1L with no real comprehension of what was expected. Now I feel like I am the aggressor, not the prey!

University of Louisville School of Law

Brent Smith '92 — It is not how much law you know that sets you apart. It is how well you can organize the facts and them apply the law to them in your bluebook. Your method provides the organizational formula necessary to write the outstanding exam.

Jonathan Savitch '98E — Cleared up every doubt I've had so far. Worth two months of class time.

Northern Kentucky Univ. Salmon P. Chase College of Law

Sarah Bailey '08 — Miller took the complex and broke it down to a simple formula anyone can understand and apply. Great program!

James Owens '08 — I feel like I now have the tools to be as successful as I am willing to be.

Brandi Buchanan '07 — My anxiety level over exams has seriously decreased. Everything I was afraid or confused about regarding exams was explained.

Cathy Gunn '01E — LEEWS was great. I particularly liked the torts analysis, the comedy, the new way of approaching the volume of material in law school.

Mary Cleveland '00 — Very valuable. I was very impressed with the subject matter and approach. I would (and will) highly recommend LEEWS to others!

Rene Heinrich '00 — I can't wait to see exactly how much these methods help. At this point I feel I am light years from where I was this morning.

Louisiana

Louisiana State University Law Center

Chaile Bowman '09 — Very valuable program. This finally helped me get a grip on how to organize and structure my studying.

Joshua Rees '08 (as a 2L) — Valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Andreas Bojesen ’03 — Before this course I didn’t have the first clue of how to begin an exam!

Bernice Archie '00 — Very valuable. I enjoyed the program, and will recommend it to others. However, I am sitting here braindead, because there is so much information. Loved it, though!

Loyola University School of Law

Chris Minias '10 — Valuable program. Excellent presentation and materials.

Julie Weber '09 — Miller made systematic legal writing very enjoyable. That will undoubtedly will give me the edge to play the game.

William Gibson '08E — This was very useful — provided tools and structure, lessened likelihood of anxiety. I think it will be very helpful

Julie Ell ‘04E — Very valuable. Midterms scared me! Made me realize I was missing the most important element of my grade – the tools to write the final exam. Miller, although a Yankee, combines Zig Zigler and southern baptist preacher tactics that keep you engaged ALL DAY.

Matthew Friedman ‘04E — I wish this program was taught before school started. I learned more today than I expected. I am actually excited to go home and open the books so I can apply what I learned.

Ronald McClain '04 — For a busy law student with no extra time, this has been time very well spent!

Jessica H. ’03 — I wish this program lasted longer. They definitely don’t teach you this in law school. Best info I’ve gotten so far.

Dana Boyle ’02 (as a 2L) — Very valuable. This seminar taught me skills I never knew existed.

Karla Baker '98 — I don't think I would survive law school without this course. Thank goodness you are as intelligent and as enterprising as you are! I would have paid you twice!'

Mary Ehret '98 — A welcome insight into the world of writing law exams. Should be attended by all 1st year students.

Claudia Hayden '98 — 7 great hours of useful information! The day went so quickly. Exams are no longer the unknown'

Meryl Tracey '98 — This course opened my eyes to the logical and simple process involved in organizing exam responses. Making A's and B's now seems possible.

Southern University Law Center

Tiffani Davis '05 — Professors said, "Excellent program. Great at helping students organize thoughts for exams." I feel like someone has "cracked the code" to taking law school exams. I know now that taking my finals is "doable." I'm glad I was one of the fortunate students who attended. Thanks, LEEWS.

Tonya Robertson ’00 (taken as 3L) — I was very impressed with the program. It really filled in the blanks by providing a systematic approach. I wish I had known about LEEWS earlier. However, I feel these same skills will be very useful for the bar exam, as well as carry over into practice (real life). I will recommend this course to incoming freshmen.

Tulane University Law School

John Rabalais '90 — I never believed it would help; most of these seminars don't. But this one did. It works! I've gained a substantial amount of confidence, and I have a game plan for finals. I'm ready to go!

Josh Chesser '09 — LEEWS is an absolute jewel. My only regret is that it isn't offered earlier, perhaps before the semester begins.

Jessica Keefe '07 — It's helpful and confidence building to have a system to follow, a plan of attack. IRAC simply doesn't cover it, doesn't give you a real system, only an order sequence. I finally understand what my professors mean when they say the "Analysis" is the heart of IRAC.

Paul Drevenstedt '04 — Very valuable program. I listened to the tapes over the summer and used the techniques from day one. I never felt lost or confused. LEEWS has been a big advantage.

Helynn Stephens '04 — LEEWS unlocks the mystery of law school. This was a wonderful sacrifice of time and money. I'm sure it'll pay off tenfold! Thank you!

Michelle Ferrara ’03 — [Mr. Miller] was incredible. He grabs the attention of the group and breaks down the secret to exam writing. I found the course to be very useful, and I certainly recommend it to everyone!

John Michael ’03 — The program was great. I have a practice exam in crim law tomorrow, and I am actually looking forward to taking it so I can practice the LEEWS method. Thanks!

Robin Jones ’02 — The LEEWS course is Absolutely Fantabulous!

Jennifer Brown '02 — Very valuable [program]. Wentworth Miller kept my attention from 9 a.m. 'til 5 p.m. I don't know a law professor who could do that. Hell, I don't know many comedians who could do that!

[Note: See letter from now retired UB law professor, Alfred Porro, Jr. —Results—, relating the success of his daughter after taking LEEWS.]

Lisa Armstrong '05 — I wish I had known about this system earlier, so I could have implemented it and not wasted my time with busywork. I have some catching up to do. (And I have to admit I was skeptical.)

Camille Jennings '03E — If it wasn't on before, the lightbulb is on now! I can't wait to practice this stuff for proficiency. Thanks for not withholding the key to real success — classes, exams, the bar, and the courtroom. My analysis is much sharper now. This should be mandatory for incoming law students. Thanks!

Susan Palmer-Portee '03E — I came to this seminar dreading exams, and now find it amazing that I'm looking forward to them.

Nicole Merson '02E — Even if I learned nothing, I feel so much more confident! This confidence is amplified, because I now have a grasp on everything I need to practice! This course was the missing link I needed — if only for my sanity.

University of Maryland School of Law

Martin Shives '85 — At last someone has taken the time to compile all of the study techniques, at a reasonable cost, and reinforce the skills that law professors leave floating in the air!

Scott Allen '10 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. I was searching for a strategy.

Joy Green '10E — Valuable program. I particularly liked the straightforward approach of [Ms. Page].

Puja Gupta '08 — Very valuable program. Helpful, clear, straightforward tips for how to master taking exams.

E.A. "Mo" Davis III '03E — Enjoyed the presentation. It helped me understand how you can answer the call of the question with a "C' answer or an "A" answer.

Teresa Lancaster '03E — Very valuable [program]. Recommended by my father (lawyer) and brother (lawyer).

Marlow Henderson '02 — When I was approached by peers regarding the possibility of taking LEEWS, I was extremely skeptical of what good the course would do. On my way out of the class, however, I had a new-found confidence level to push me toward the exam.

Joseph Henriquez '01E — Well worth the time and money spent. My only regret is not taking this course before my first semester exams.

Massachusetts

Boston College Law School

Salama Abdurrahim '07 — As a 1L I found this program extremely helpful. I was so confused and nervous about exams, but now I feel I really have the skills to do well!

Jen Nichols '06 (as a 2L) — I thought the presenter [Mr. Miller] had an amazing sense of humor! I only wish I had taken the course as a 1L. I'm sure it would have made a difference.

Orville Thomas '06 (as a 2L) — This is a course that is essential for every first year law student.

Vanessa Olivier '06 (as a 2L) — If law school was structured more like LEEWS, students would be able to remember more easily why they went to law school — their love of learning, working with, and using the law.

Haig Panossian '05 — Most sources warning about law school exams tell you what not to do, why and how exams are so important, and state that they differ from standard undergrad exams. However, they give you nothing to "hold on to" and effectively use. Basically, they scare you without relieving your fear. LEEWS relieved my fears by providing a clear, structured (yet not over-simplified at all) approach that makes law school exam taking seem like a science rather than an enigma.

T. Sullivan '01 — Miller was outstanding. His enthusiasm throughout the day was inspiring. I feel well equipped to identify my "tools" and appropriately "play the game."

Michael J. Pina '01 — This shed light on the PROCESS of preparing for exams. A demystifying experience! Thank you.'

Earl Adams '01 — This was a great investment! Don't let the price or your classmates scare you away!

Lissa Jolivert '99 — Mr. Miller's seminar provided me with clarity, encouragement, and enthusiasm, three things I had given up on encountering in law school.

Boston University School of Law

Daniel Feldman '95 — A woman from my school got an A and an A+ first semester after taking LEEWS. The whole day's presentation went by faster than some of my hour-long classes.

Ariel Soiffer '10 — Very valuable program. I wish I had attended earlier in the semester. Very thorough.

Brad Green '08 — Very valuable program. After 7 hours I already feel more confident, and that's before 1 minute of practice using my newfound knowledge and skills. Mr. Miller was insightful, humorous, well-spoken, and clear. I was a bit apprehensive and a bit skeptical of LEEWS, but now I understand why it and Mr. Miller have received rave reviews. I'm looking forward to practicing the skills I've learned today, and I'm now excited to tackle and master my finals.

Viral Mehta '08 — Finally someone who just tells you what to do, how to do it, and why.

Ken Boucher '03 — Very valuable. After my first semester I had one A, one C, and everything in between, and I thought the C was my best exam. I found out why at LEEWS.

Judith Joseph '03 — This was eye-opening. Now I have a workable framework for preparing and answering exam questions.

Christian Cammayo '02 — Law school has been befuddling, but Wentworth Miller helps take what is already in your mind and translate it into legalese.

Arthur DiMattia, Jr. '98 — Although even the most astute student will leave Mr. Miller's lecture overwhelmed, his approach leaves you with an extremely helpful framework for tackling the most complex hypos that a law professor could throw at you. I feel much more confident than at any other time in the semester.

Harvard Law School

Note: See in depth letter — Results— from Margaret Watson '90.]

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

Paul Michalski '86 — This was worth 2-3 time the cost. I now realize how much time I have wasted in unproductive reading. I would hate to have found all this out next year or the year after. Bravo!

Kristina Oliver '07 (attending as a 2L) — Very valuable program. Addressed some of the mistakes I made, and presented a clear method to avoid similar faults. I found this day very helpful.

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

Ashley Hibbett '04 — Very valuable program. Hands on, comical, organized and well developed, to the point. My mentors at the firm I worked for recommended LEEWS. I am a first semester 1L, and this course took awat my fear of exams.

Chris Larson ’03 — Very valuable program. [Mr. Miller’s] speaking style was great. Kept me interested all day.

Bill Burke-White '02 — Mr. Miller's energy and enthusiasm and style are refreshing, and his exam system insightful.

Laura Garrett '02 — Valuable [program]. Mostly came on high recommendation of a 2L.

Massachusetts School of Law

Rita Dafir '07E (as a 2L) — Very valuable program. I was skeptical, but now I have to say every penny spent was well worth it. I have a much clearer understanding of what is expected. I'm thrilled.

Jennifer Crowder '07 (attending as a 2L) — I wanted my final exams to be unique and set above the rest. I didn't want another semester of being "stuck in the curve." I think LEEWS has given me the tools to write an effective exam!

E. James Perullo '07 — Overall, more than worth it!

Eddie Starr '07E (as a 2L) — This course did indeed pump me/us up for final! Very helpful. Wish I had taken it in my first year!

New England School of Law

Nancy Bezemes-Farley '00E — I wish Wentworth were one of my profs! He is so enjoyable, knowledgeable, and able to present in a logical way this outrageous amount of information. [Ms. Bezemes-Farley went on to make law review and be a LEEWS rep.]

Lori Rusling '09 — I learned more intentional torts in one day of LEEWS than in an entire semester of going to class! The best part of the course is that you gain confidence along with a plan of action!

Uma Arunachalam '04 — Very valuable program. Wentworth Miller's humor is great! It's what kept the session running and the clock ticking. Moreover, it didn't matter if the clock was moving or not, as it was just fun being here. Inspirational!

Alan Feldman '99 — Finally, a clear perspective and convincing strategies for attacking law exams. Miller is a great lecturer. I would kill for a law professor as good as him.

Southern New England School of Law

Guessippina Bonner '01 — I wish I had been given this information sooner.

Suffolk University Law School

John Brinkman '00 — This program clears up 3 months of confusion, myths, and bad advice in 8 hours.

Denise Ross '00 — I cannot believe on 5 hours of sleep you have held my undivided attention for 8 hours. I am greatly relieved. THANK YOU!

Anthony Dellorfano '00E — Mr. Miller's presentation was exactly what I needed: a clear, workable, systematic approach to demystifying the law school exam. If I did not have this training, my studying would have included hours of unnecessary work. I'll study the same amount of time, but much more efficiently.

Jessica Claire Dean '01 — Very engaging, very illuminating. I think that after the information has had a chance to to sink in the potential for writing an "A" exam will have increased exponentially.

Jessica Natale ’02 (as a 2L) — Very valuable. As a second year student, it goes to show that there is always more to learn.

Hetal J. Mehta '02 — I found this program to be a breath of fresh air — more educational and informative than all my classroom experiences and education put together throughout the semester.

Western New England College of Law

Stephanie Schlatter '07 — As a repeater, I learned as much this time as I did the first time. Excellent program!

Kathleen A. Cavanaugh ’02 (as a 2L) — Fresh approach, great ideas. I wish I had taken this seminar two years ago.

Simone Dion '03E — Outstanding. I would have made all the classic mistakes! Now I may have a chance at doing fairly well.

Nathan Dineen '10 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation and materials.

Matthew Sercely '09 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Barry Poulson '05 — Very valuable. Excellent presentation. Realized I was thinking "inside a box" that I did not realize existed.

Thomas M. Cooley Law School

[Note: See letters — Results page — from Adam Reddick '07 (taken as a 2L) and Karenn Florante '97.]

[We may further note that Cooley's elaborate academic support program for 1Ls, while admirable in intent, ends up producing little more benefit than the same old same old, IRAC-based conventional wisdom. Many of our Cooley attendees come in their 2nd and 3rd semester.]

Khadeeja Ahsan '09 — Very valuable program. Mr. Miller's approach was easy to understand and explained all the concepts that a 1L is nervous and unsure about.

Mark Thalberg '09 — Useful program. Good presentation.

Ary Avnet '08 — Class filled me with info. I know it works for some because my TA took [LEEWS] and got all A's. My turn.

[LEEWS note: Ary's turn indeed! Ary received 2 A's and 2 A-'s!!]

James Lee '08 — I believe that you are a fool if you do not take this program and utilize it. This program makes "Hide the Ball" a non factor.

Loren Pardue '08 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Adam Reddick '07 (taken as a 2L) — Immediately after the (Chicago) program I realized that the information that was presented would be helpful, but I failed to realize just how valuable the program was. Well, I am proud to report that I just received my grades for this past semester and they consisted of all "A's" with a Certificate of Merit award for the highest grade in my property course.

Rhonda Seefeld (taken as a 3L) — Valuable program. As a 3L, I wish I had taken this earlier in my law school career. I thought the program was wonderful, and would strongly advise first year students to take advantage of this to get a leg up on classmates early on.

Nancy Dlugokenski '08E — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation.

Judy S. '07 — The LEEWS program really introduced me to the "light at the end of the tunnel" that first term students have trouble finding. I have realized what it is I must focus on in preparing a successful essay exam.

Ed Lenchitz '07 — Very valuable program. Final judgment cannot be established until I see my grades. Will let you know then.

[LEEWS note: Ed reported getting nothing lower than an A- his first term (fall '04), and the highest grade in two classes.]

Keemya Richards '08E — Mr. Miller was fantastic, entertaining, energetic, and humorous. The money spent was extremely nominal compared to what is gained.

Rick Frank '06 — I attended LEEWS a few weeks before finals, and it helped everything that I had been studying make sense. It takes all that information packed in your brain and lays out an attack plan to put it into a law school essay. I received three A's my first term and the top grade in contracts!

Michael Hess '07E — The presentation of material was fantastic in every way. I learned more in 8 hours than in any legal writing or analysis class or seminar that I have had all year.

Noel Caldwell '06 — I thought the program provided exactly what I was seeking, which was how to truly analyze. It gave me something more than IRAC.

Jonathan Hadaya '06 — Very valuable. Miller is very entertaining. Did not feel like an 8-hour course. Can't look at law school the same ever again.

Tracey Hampton '91 — I now see why former students have a hard time explaining the class. You have to experience it. It was great! I'm truly motivated and looking forward to exams.

Duane Ramer '98 — Awesome! I went from being a C student to an A-B student after taking LEEWS.

John Beisty ['02 at St. Mary's Law School, San Antonio] — It was awesome. Asked my girlfriend about it who had tapes. She was top 10% at Thomas Cooley because of the tapes. [LEEWS note: Now an audio CD program.]

L.M. Kohler '01 [taken as a 2L] — An attorney strongly recommended taking this, as did peers. It doesn't matter if you "IRAC," if you can't understand the issues first! LEEWS provides a perspective, practice, and approach to test taking I've never been told by any professor or peer. I was lost and all over the map until LEEWS. Thank you for the directions.

Bernie Grall '02 — The most rewarding, valuable, enriching class about law school exam preparation I have had.

University of Detroit Mercy School of Law

Fred Peebles '08E — This was very well structured. The premises espoused shot holes in many things law school administration reps portray to 1L's as being true.

Gary Coin '05E — Straightforward talk, insightful tips for taking exams. As other people said today, I don't want to give anyone in my class an edge!

Jeffrey Thau '01 — [Mr. Miller's] ability to keep my attention, considering no one else can, was remarkable.

Charles Fedewa '00 — A very enlightening program that helped reduce the stress and mystique of preparing for exams.

Judy Greenia '00E — Instructor's presentation was very valuable. It made sense of every aspect of a law school exam. It touched on all aspects, and the professor's humor made the course easy to follow.

Michigan State U. [Formerly Detroit College of Law]

K. Scott Williamson '09E — Very valuable program. A Nicholson-like cadence to the lecture + A Michael Douglas delivery + A workable system = Worth my time!

Tanya Irwin '06 — Very valuable program. I learned more in one day than in all the previous books and workshops I've bought/attended. Highly recommend!

Andy Merriman '06 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. I heard about LEEWS from an older friend in law school a year before I attended my first class. I was skeptical, but I am overjoyed that I remembered.

Kristan Tetens ‘03E — Very valuable. Practical, process-oriented. Made exam process relevant to lawyering. Thank you!

Carolyn Krieg '02E — Fantastic! I did not expect there to be so much precise and needed guidance.

Laurie Lange '01E — I am carrying 12 credits and working a full time job. I am always afraid to waste precious time. This was NOT a waste.

Stanette Amy '00E — Very valuable. Although it sounds impossible after a year of law school, no one ever explained the phrases "black letter law" and "rule of law;" and how to find them in class and apply them on the exam. Your "been there, done that" approach is effective and refreshing.'

K. Torrenti '99 — Valuable [program]. Miller has an interesting Jack Nicholson, Hunter S. Thompson-esque approach, captivating to anyone wanting to think of things in a different, yet specific way.

David Russell '05 — The program instills the confidence I was lacking before attending.

University of Michigan School of Law

Elizabeth R. '07 — Tangible, entertaining, and a huge relief/confidence builder looking toward exams. Your method will inform my approach for the rest of my legal career. I cannot thank you enough!

Douglas Park '04 — Very valuable program. Miller makes his point powerfully by working through hypos. I'm confident that his recommendations will make my studying more focused and productive.

Joel Karansky '01 — Very valuable. The course lived up to its reputation. Mr. Miller provided a thorough and systematic method for test taking and test preparation. Well worth the money and time.

Kelly Bailer '97 — This is the most useful class I've taken since I started law school last year. Everyone should take this class first year!!

Wayne State University Law School

Christie McGahan '05 — Mr. Miller's presentation was energetic, motivating, and provided me with the direction I needed. I can't wait to utilize the tools he provided.

Ida Smith '04 — Valuable program. Speaker was very engaging. I can't wait to use this technique on my first exam. I am not afraid now. Thanks.

Katrina Brown '99 — The instructor was fascinating and kept the class alive with humor! The simplicity of the method and clarity of presentation. I feel much much more confident and will definitely recommend to 1Ls next year. Why doesn't the Legal Research course teach this method? This is true legal analysis!

Tawanda Van Horn '99 — The morning of the LEEWS program I was sick, and was thinking I'm not going — but I'm so-o-o-o glad I came. The techniques are very useful! I have an advantage over other students.

Kevin Himebaugh '98 — IRAC is the middle of the law exam trilogy. This course provided the first and third episodes, making IRAC more useful.

Karen Swann '98 — The seminar gave me, inter alia, a map to follow. Before today I was lost and didn't really know how to go about anything. But now I know I'm looking for "elephant.''

Minnesota

Hamline University School of Law

Anonymous '01 — Very valuable. The research and writing program director at Hamline, Alice Silkey, said she had heard LEEWS was very good.

Sonnie Braih '98 — Superb presentation. Everything you need to know about the law school examination that nobody wants to tell you. LEEWS is a must attend. This is the academic map to law school success.

W. Brooks '02 — Wonderful information , fantastic tools! Thanks.

University of Minnesota Law School

Roger Renville '09 — Valuable program. Good presentation.

Sarah Moseley '07 — I bought and worked through the audio presentation, and then due to anxiety decided to come to the live program. I actually preferred the live program, because the development of the visual aids at the same time as the oral presentation helped me grasp it better. I'm sold.

Anne Johnson '06 — The program elucidated what professors refer to as "issues." Based on the professors' descriptions of issues, I never would have guessed they are what Wentworth showed us they really are. Thank you for the class, and thank you for making it so affordable!

David Weber '05 — Some friends of mine didn't take the course, because they didn't want one more thing freaking them out, but I find it to be the opposite. I feel much more confident about the whole exam taking process.

Vija Brookshire '99 — I learned a ton! Thought I did great, then got my grades back from fall semester. I totally needed this . I actually am excited to put my information together and practice taking exams.

Azhar M. Usman '99 — People who don't take this seminar for money reasons or mere skepticism are definitely being left out. I am excited to apply the knowledge and system of today's program.

William Mitchell College of Law

Patrick Arenz '06 — Very valuable program. Wentworth Miller put on an entertaining and enlightening seminar.

Matt Martin '06 — Very valuable program. Excellent presentation. Great passion for helping the confused.

Molly Wills '04 — An eight hour [minus lunch] presentation went by faster than some of my courses. LEEWS gave me the confidence I've been missing since I started law school.

Troy Schmitz '04E (attending as a 2L) — I wish I had attended before my first year. I understand now what I could have done better in my essay exams.

Jill Sonnek '04E (as a 2L) — Very valuable program. A friend bought the tapes and liked them. I liked the live presentation better.

Mississippi College School of Law

Mark Lyon '07 — This was a great program that has given me a set plan for attacking my exams instead of the haphazard method I used first semester.

Dana Powers '05 — I just wish I had known about this program in the summer. Thank you!

Mary Margaret Ratcliff '02 — The presenter made the material exciting and intriguing by adding an element of fun to the challenge and anxiousn
