About Us

Our mission is to liberate legal education

First year of law school, also known as 1L, is the initiation rite of the legal profession, and the gateway to key positions in our society. But those who are unable to hire $150/hr tutors, or don't come from a long line of lawyers have been at an unfair disadvantage. Until now.

We want to level the playing field. Top-notch, high-quality 1L preparation should be affordable, and we have worked hard to do just that.

We make 1L preparation easier and more affordable, so that you can excel in law school and become a lawyer.
