Why it's hard

Knowing the law and writing the exam are two different skills.

In many law school courses, one final exam decides most or all of your grade. You get a dense fact pattern, a hard time limit, and a professor looking for three things: the issues you spotted, the rules you stated, and how well you applied them to the facts.

Plenty of students who understand the material still leave points on the table. Coaching closes that gap.

Exam writing is a skill, and skills can be coached.

Where students lose points

  • Conclusions without analysis
  • Rules recited but never applied
  • Arguing only one side
  • Ignoring the call of the question
  • Too much time on one issue
  • Disorganized answers

Before you write

  • One exam, the whole grade. Little room to recover from a bad day.
  • Graded on a curve. At many schools, your answer is measured against your classmates' answers.
  • Issues hide in the facts. Fact patterns are written to bury issues, and every one you miss costs points.
  • The clock is part of the test. Strong students run out of time before they run out of things to say.

What we work on together

Every session aims at one thing: better exam answers.

Here's the kind of thinking coaching builds, worked through a short practice fact pattern the way a strong exam answer would.

Practice fact pattern · Torts

Late for her 9 a.m. final, Dana drove 45 mph through a marked school zone while texting1. She swerved to miss a jaywalking pedestrian2 and clipped a parked bicycle, which flew into a café window3. Flying glass cut a diner, Lee4, who missed a week of work5. Dana insists she never saw anyone near the café6.

  1. Breach. Speeding through a school zone may support negligence per se.
  2. Sudden emergency? Not if her own driving helped create it.
  3. Causation. Actual cause first, then proximate cause.
  4. Duty. Was Lee a foreseeable plaintiff? Think Palsgraf.
  5. Damages. Lost wages and medical costs.
  6. Objective standard. What would a reasonable driver foresee?

  1. Issue

    What legal questions do these facts raise? Find all of them.

    Is Dana liable to Lee in negligence?

  2. Rule

    State the governing rule clearly and completely.

    Negligence requires duty, breach, causation, and damages.

  3. Application

    Use the facts. Argue both sides. This is the heart of a strong answer.

    Texting at 45 mph in a school zone is strong evidence of breach. Whether a diner inside the café was a foreseeable victim is the real fight.

  4. Conclusion

    Commit to the likely outcome, and say why.

    Likely liable, though the best answers argue proximate cause both ways.

Skills coaching sharpens

  • Issue spotting
  • Rule statements
  • Analysis that uses the facts
  • Counterarguments
  • Answer structure
  • Time management
  • Outlines & attack outlines
  • Practice exams & hypotheticals
  • Multiple-choice strategy
  • Policy questions
  • An exam-day plan

What does Lewis Law School Exam Success Coaching do?

We coach law students to perform on their law school exams: spotting issues, stating rules, applying them to the facts, and managing time. We cover Torts I & II, Contracts I & II, Civil Procedure I & II, Criminal Law & Procedure, and Family Law.

When should I start?

As early in the semester as you can, so you have time to practice. But it's never too late to sharpen your approach before an exam.

Do you guarantee grades?

No. No honest coach can. Coaching is designed to sharpen your exam skills and preparation, and your results depend on your own work and many other factors.

Is this legal advice?

No. This is academic coaching for law students, not legal advice or legal representation.

Is this the same as law school tutoring?

It's similar, but more focused: coaching is built around how you perform on exams in the course you're taking.

Introductory rates

Introductory rates won't last. Your exams won't wait.

Two coaching sessions a month for $50, or group coaching for your organization for $750. Prices go up in the next few months.
