BARBRI Law Preview

What BARBRI Law Preview does

BARBRI Law Preview is a law school preparation program operated as a division of BARBRI, the established legal education company best known for bar exam preparation. The flagship product is a one-week intensive prep course offered during the summer before students begin their first year of law school (1L year), designed to teach core first-year subjects — torts, contracts, property, civil procedure, constitutional law, and criminal law — alongside exam-taking strategies, case briefing, outlining techniques, and academic success skills. The course is delivered in three formats: live in-person at regional locations, live stream for remote synchronous attendance, and on-demand for self-paced access extended through the 1L year.

Instruction is provided by an adjunct faculty of law professors drawn from top U.S. law schools, including 24 Teacher of the Year Award Winners, five former Supreme Court clerks, and two federal prosecutors. Enrollment is bundled with BARBRI 1L Mastery (outlines, final exam review lectures, and practice questions for all 1L subjects) plus the West Academic Study Aids Collection and LexisNexis online research access, creating a single-vendor solution that students can use across the entire 1L year.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer (B2C) model with self-serve online enrollment through lawpreview.barbri.com, no institutional or reseller channels, and pricing that is not publicly disclosed but reported in customer testimonials at approximately $1,000+. The primary customer segment is incoming full-time 1L students, with a secondary segment of working professionals and part-time law students. Demand generation relies heavily on content marketing — an active blog, free downloadable checklists and worksheets, interactive quizzes, video series, and original research surveys — plus a modest scholarship program. The company is privately held, U.S.-domiciled, and serves only the U.S. market, with no disclosed revenue, funding, or executive team details.
