A friend told me that his friend at Georgetown took LEEWS and scored the highest in two of his classes. Great lecturer. (Mr. Wu took LEEWS as a first semester 1L. He went on to be named editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review for ’98-’99.)

There are lots of commercial programs and aids designed to assist law students in studying for and writing exams, but—trust us—Wentworth Miller's [“LEEWS”] is the best of the bunch. [LEEWS] is the secret behind the success of more law review members than you can shake a stick at. You really should check it out.

LEEWS takes the old IRAC approach and vastly improves on it. LEEWS is a Godsend ...It is truly disgraceful that a LEEWS-type program is not part-and-parcel of every law school's pedagogy.

Mr. Miller: I want to thank you for the help I received by way of the CD program I ordered. My GPA was about 2.49 after my first year. I saw more C's than I care to enumerate. I listened to the program, utilized the strategy, and my grades this last semester [fall 2008] were much better—A, A-, B+, B. B. Put simply, it worked. Thanks.

I’m a 3L and currently “Grand Chancellor,” class of 2011. (1st in my class w/a 4.13 GPA.) I believe in giving credit where credit is due. LEEWS factored significantly in my academic success. [Audio program, summer before starting.] (This despite a median—for my school—LSAT score.) It framed not just my approach to taking exams, but my approach to thinking about the law, and thus what I took away from my classes. Scored several highest grade awards. In one where the final was out of 50 points, I ended up with 37—and the median score was 12!

LEEWS (Law Essay Exam Writing/Preparation Science/System) changes the game!

—  Art Jarrett, Temple '91 (Who then raised every grade a full point and made dean's list.)

  6. Tip Sheet on Exam Writing - Eric E. Johnson

    The key to law school exam writing is applying law to facts. (Or facts to law. Whichever way you want to think about it.) This is so because applying law to facts is legal analysis. And legal analysis is what you must do on the exam. To create legal analysis, you necessarily must mix the law and the facts together in a way that produces some result.
