The BARBRI first year outlines saved me this year! The materials are GOLD!! The BARBRI outlines are very efficient and great at breaking down complicated topics. I also used the practice essays and multiple-choice questions when studying for my exams. I finished the year in the top 13% of the class, making the dean's list. I also won an Excellence for the Future award for getting the highest grade in my Property Law class. I would highly recommend the BARBRI 1L Student Success Package.

As a 1L BARBRI was such a useful guide in order to understand the many complicated nuances that were involved with the core classes that year. I watched every single lecture by Professor Freer and to this day I will attest that he is the reason why I came to love Civil Procedure as my first year came to an end. The layout of the 1L [Success] courses is so effective yet simple it makes understanding such overwhelming concepts feel like an attainable goal. I am so glad I found BARBRI and the mastery courses when I did.
