*We are now accepting applications from Class of 2028.*

You’ve probably already been told that law school will be a completely different experience from undergrad. The dreaded cold calls, mandatory grading curves, long reading assignments, and an entirely new style of writing…

Any legal employer will tell you that first-year law school grades are a key factor in their hiring process, so how do you make sure you’re ready for the unique challenges of law school?

There are plenty of books and online articles out there – but wouldn’t you rather have personalized advice from experts in the field?

PracticePro has created Law School Mastery® to bridge the gap!

“This was such a rewarding experience. My hands on tutor and experience with Niki was unforgettable. This program is life changing and worth every second.”

Ashley Miranda

“My experience with the PracticePro Law School Mastery program was one-of-a-kind. As a proud first-generation student the idea of law school was extremely daunting. Through the webinars, the LSM program was able to demystify the challenges of law school and helped to empower me. I extremely valued my tutoring sessions because it was nice to speak with someone who already experienced the difficulties of the first year. She was so great and offered me advice to support me. Overall, the LSM program propelled me to feel more confident as I finish my first year and prepare for my summer internship opportunities.”

Jola Ilori

“I am incredibly grateful to have been a Law School Mastery Scholar. As a first-generation non-traditional law student, I faced unique challenges but felt supported by PracticePro. My tutor guided me on how to prep for class, study tips, and clarifying insights that helped me navigate the most challenging semester of law school. The mentorship was essential and crucial to my emotional wellness and career success. The individualized career coaching helped me prep for my 1L summer application, allowing me to secure a 1L summer offer early. The PracticePro team’s support made me feel empowered and comfortable to continue my legal career and journey. Thank you all so much.”

“As a Law School Mastery Scholar, I gained invaluable guidance from a dedicated tutor, who empowered me as a first-generation student to navigate the pressures of a top-10 law school. Through the program, I was also connected with my law firm sponsor and an attorney mentor, both of whom have provided professional insight and guidance. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this program, and I look forward to paying it forward by supporting and uplifting diverse communities throughout my legal career.”

Ginikachi Okeke

Fordham School of Law, Class of 2027

“PracticePro has been one of the best programs to be a part of during my 1L year. You can tell that Niki truly believes in the Scholars’ potential for greatness, as evidenced by her tailored coaching, resume and cover letter feedback, and overall guidance. I always left her coaching sessions feeling empowered and informed about what I needed to do to be successful. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she truly sets you up for success in this space. The program is phenomenal, and I would recommend it to all 1Ls.”

Jocelyn Tapia

Stanford Law School, Class of 2027

“As a first-generation student from a low-income farm working community, the path to higher education often seemed unattainable, let alone pursuing a legal career. Growing up, the idea of attending college felt like an impossible dream, and navigating the complexities of law school and the professional world was daunting.

PracticePro’s Law School Mastery Program has been an invaluable resource in my journey. The support and guidance I have received have not only helped me overcome challenges but have also empowered me to thrive in spaces I once thought were out of reach. From access to professional development opportunities to personalized mentorship, the Law School Mastery Program has provided me with the tools and confidence to succeed in law school and prepare for a meaningful legal career.

This program is more than just a resource. It is a bridge for students like me who are striving to break barriers and achieve their goals. I am grateful for everything LSM has done to support me and help make my aspirations a reality.”

Emily N.

University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, Class of 2027

“I am so grateful to be apart of the PracticePro Law School Mastery community of scholars! The support I received from Niki and her team allowed my transition into law school to be exciting rather than terrifying. Thanks to PracticePro, I was able to navigate the 1L job search with ease, tailor my law school experience to my longterm goals, and kick off my legal journey in the best way possible. What PracticePro is doing for first-generation lawyers is nothing short of extraordinary!”

Gabriela Lagos

Tulane University School of Law, Class of 2027

“As a law student juggling the demands of coursework, exams, and career planning, the Law School Mastery Program was exactly what I needed to level up my performance. The program’s structured approach broke down complex concepts into digestible steps, helping me feel more confident and in control of my studies.

What truly sets this program apart is the focus on mindset and strategy, not just academics. The tips on exam preparation, issue-spotting, and outlining were game-changers, but I also appreciated the emphasis on managing stress and staying consistent under pressure skills that are just as important in law school as knowing the law itself.

Since completing the program, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my understanding, time management, and even how I approach challenges. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or looking for that extra edge to succeed, this program is an invaluable investment in your legal education.”

Akbarali Aziz Jr.

SMU Dedman School of Law, Class of 2027

“PracticePro served as my introduction to the legal field, an unknown place for me. As a student coming straight out of their undergraduate institution, I was excited and honored to be part of such a wonderful program. Because of PracticePro, I felt equipped with the knowledge and resources to navigate the law school environment. Without this program, I wouldn’t have had the confidence or the support to take on the many challenges law school presents. The guidance I received from the Law School Mastery program, along with the mentorship of the incredible people involved, has been invaluable, I’ll always be grateful for it.”

Christian Ali

UCLA School of Law, Class of 2027

“LSM was pivotal to my confidence going into my first semester of law school and understanding the recruitment process for law students. I was matched with an elite firm and given several opportunities to meet attorneys and learn how to make myself marketable as I began my legal career. From resume edits to interview prep, Niki and the PracticePro team have been extraordinarily helpful in carving my law school path, which looks so promising just after my first semester! I am forever grateful for the blessing of being in such a great program and recommend all incoming 1Ls to apply.“

Roshard Williams

Howard University School of Law, Class of 2025

“I am grateful for my experience in PracticePro’s Law School Mastery program. Throughout the first semester of my 1L year, which is arguably the most challenging semester, I benefited from the support of the PracticePro Team and my PracticePro tutor. The LSM training series provided me with strategies to excel in law school and tools for emotional wellness. Additionally, my PracticePro tutor was great! We met seven times throughout my first semester, and she was extremely helpful and encouraging. As a first-generation law student, I felt the academic, networking, and coaching resources provided were invaluable. I appreciate the commitment that the PracticePro team has in supporting students at various points in their legal journey.”

Alyssa Marshall

University of Virginia School of Law, Class of 2025

“I could not imagine having gone through 1L without being a Law School Mastery Scholar. The Law School Mastery program gave me so much insight on how to survive law school, from my emotional wellness and networking to career planning and interviewing skills and preparation. Law School Mastery was a phenomenal program, especially for first-generation law students like myself. I felt supported despite all of the events and assignments that come with 1L. The mentorship was invaluable to me. The program was very aware of the support that 1Ls need and did everything to provide that (tutoring, responsiveness to emails, workshops, and skill building). Being in this program has made me feel prepared for what is to come and allowed me to get a job! Because of the care and transparency of this program, I felt seen and helped in so many ways. Niki wants to see individuals be successful and will help every step of the way. I am grateful to have been a part of this program and I hope I can pay it forward to others by spreading the word, remaining in contact as an alum of the program, and continuing to help others in the community.”

Brenna Phillips

Harvard Law School, Class of 2024

“This program has been a blessing already and I know as the “storm” continues to progress these next few weeks LSM will certainly be a lighthouse for my sanity!”

Katherine Wang

UC Berkeley School of Law, Class of 2024

“I couldn’t be more grateful to have the opportunity to participate in PracticePro’s Law School Mastery program. As the first in my family to attend law school, I didn’t have many people to turn to who understood the complexities of succeeding academically and professionally. Law School Mastery’s combination of tutoring, networking, and career coaching gave me a support system that I otherwise wouldn’t have had. Working with PracticePro also helped me achieve what I thought was a far-reaching goal of receiving 1L summer associate offers. Thank you so much, PracticePro, for guiding me and giving me the confidence to kickstart my law school journey.”

Sydney Williams

Tulane University Law School, Class of 2024

“PracticePro opened my eyes to another side of the legal field that I had not yet been exposed to. It excited me about my law school journey and armed me with the tools to succeed in a very competitive environment. Without this program I would not have had the confidence nor the resources to take on many of the challenges that are presented in law school. I will be forever grateful for the guidance offered by the Law School Mastery program and all of the great people that were a part of it.”
