LEEWS (Law Essay Exam Writing System)

The Law School (Bar) Exam Writing / Study / Preparation System (LEEWS) will help you prepare for and write A exams (B's guaranteed) and/or pass the bar. Wentworth Miller - attorney, Yale law graduate ('77), Rhodes scholar has developed polished for over 25 years comprehensive system of preparation exam taking, applicable to any essay-type in legal subject, that is remarkably effective.

Stark LEEWS difference
Revolutionary? "Threat to law schools?"… LEEWS IS the only law study aid that criticizes Socratic Method as ineffective in training the "lawyer mind." Ask any lawyer. He/she learned to "really think as a lawyer" after law school! By practicing law—apprenticeship! Thinking, analyzing "as a lawyer" is key to top grades. Painstakingly in a 9-10 hour program, LEEWS instructs this skill far better than any other aid. Plus innovative systems to break ALL essay exams (hypos) into manageable components; present/discuss (relevant!) issues in concise paragraphs; build easy-reference 30-50 page course outlines; brief cases (now easily grasped re what counts--exams!) in 2-4 lines. And more.
FACT! Average result on essay exams, staple format at all law schools (because on all bar exams), is 25 points of 100 possible! (What?! Yes! At Harvard, Yale!) All law students fail their exams(!!). 35 points ("genius of the law?") = A. 25 = B. LEEWS grads?…
Thinking as (practicing) lawyers, armed with a unique system that enables the exact same step-by-step programmatic approach to ALL essay exercises (very comforting), able to produce concise analysis that impresses (another system)… Cases?… Briefed in 2-4 lines. (See video.) It comes back to us: "Professor says my grade can't be posted. Would embarrass classmates."
Read the free download book at this website to learn how US colleges (e.g. Duke, Yale) started law schools to boost revenue and power. (Learning grads would occupy state legislatures.) It's why Michigan State purchased Detroit College of Law, Penn State purchased Dickinson Law.
Key question! After over 40 years, is LEEWS relevant? Still far and away the best (and, surprisingly, far and away most reasonably priced!) study aid! (read more...)

“There is a system for handling the law school essay exam well. It's the single most important key to law school success. Its creator is Wentworth Miller, founder of LEEWS. A friend who made law review discovered that every one of his fellow editors had taken LEEWS in their first semester of law school, as had he.” — PLANET LAW SCHOOL, pp. 83, 89.

“It's not often that advice is easy—especially advice on a subject as endlessly distressing as law exams. Here it is easy. (Advice, anyway.) The answer? In a word—LEEWS.” —LAW SCHOOL— GETTING IN, GETTING GOOD, GETTING THE GOLD, p. 302

“We recommend ... preparing for law school with the Law Essay Exam Writing System ('LEEWS')--in addition to lots of hard work and lots of practice exams.” – THE ART OF THE LAW SCHOOL TRANSFER, A Guide to Transferring Law Schools (2010), p. 8 (Re “what should you do to get the great grades you are going to need to transfer?”)

Lawrence Wu Columbia ’99
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.)
THE PRINCETON REVIEW 2001 Guide to Law Schoolspp. 80, 83
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.
PLANET LAW SCHOOL II (2003)pp. 164, 165
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.
Joseph T. MoorePepperdine '10
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.
(Mr.) Kris TengUniv. Texas ’11
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!

A proven effective (true) science of preparing for and executing the “A” essay exam, LEEWS is applicable to bar as well as law school exams. Unique, proven systems are put in place for (systematically!) identifying issues [No more haphazard "spotting!"], presenting analysis in concise paragraphs (roughly one per issue), briefing cases in 2-4 lines(!!), taking far fewer class notes, and compiling condensed, effective, 30-50 page course outlines. And much more. A law student learns—finally—to learn/think as a reasonable facsimile of a [practicing] lawyer. [Note. Thinking "as a lawyer" is THE CRITICAL SKILL to be exhibited to do well. It is a skill that so-called "case method"—sitting in yet another classroom engaged in academic discussion—is poor at instructing.] * No one else can match our guarantees, as no one else offers more than "IRAC" and standard tips and advice that has never been more than merely helpful.

NOTE. There is an awful lot at this website – e.g., free (standard exam writing) advice, testimonials, explanations of how and why LEEWS is different, more effective, etc. For the best insight into law school and the how/why of LEEWS, the free book linked below– Gaming Emperor Law School – is recommended.

“It's not often that advice is easy—especially advice on a subject as endlessly distressing as law exams. Here it is easy. (The advice, anyway.) The answer? In a word — LEEWS.” — LAW SCHOOL — GETTING IN, GETTING GOOD, GETTING THE GOLD (2008), p. 302 “We recommend ... preparing for law school with the Law Essay Exam Writing System ('LEEWS')--in addition to lots of hard work and lots of practice exams.” – THE ART OF THE LAW SCHOOL TRANSFER, A Guide to Transferring Law Schools (2010), p. 8 (In the context, “... what should you do to get the great grades you are going to need to transfer?”) “I wasn't going to come. I made that choice last semester. Three weeks ago I ran into one of the A's in my class, and I was surprised to find that 7 of the 10 A's attended LEEWS. Needless to say, I signed right up!”

Guarantee of satisfaction: How confident are we that, whether pre-law, 1L, 2L, 3L, or prepping for a bar exam, you'll find the audio version of LEEWS interesting, meaningfully different and useful, even transformative?... certainly well worth the modest price ($200, incl. shipping)? ... Return it, as received, within ten days following receipt for a full refund! You'll pay only return shipping.

BTW: If already in law school—1st term, 2nd term, 2L, 3L –, welcome to you as well. We suspect you've come to this website because ... As is true for most in law school, for the first time ever intelligence and hard work haven't translated to "A" grades. Moreover, although you hope A's are possible, your suspicion is they are not. (See the reason in the first footnote below.) Also, despite what you've read or heard (from friend, relative, upperclassman, lawyer, professor), you're highly skeptical of the claim LEEWS is so different and effective as to justify the time and (relatively minor) cost to do the program (even with exams rapidly approaching!). Okay. I get that. It's why I wrote Gaming Emperor Law School. Download it free! You'll appreciate arguments and points made immediately. You'll learn much 3Ls, law professors, and lawyers don't know. (They haven't thought so long and hard about this as I have.) You’ll understand and appreciate that your approach to law school, studies, especially exams can and needs to be a lot different. As noted up top, rare law school A's can be not just possible, but probable!

— Wentworth Miller, LEEWS founder/instructor
