- Engaging in class,
- Note-taking,
- Effective post-class strategies,
- Strategic studying,
- And so much more.
With opportunities to practice what they’ve learned along the way, JDEdge gives new law students the foundation — and the confidence — to enter ready.

“JDEdge was a great resource to offer students who wanted to feel prepared and ready for the first day of law school. After completing the JDEdge content, like mock law school classes and mock exams, our students reported feeling more confident starting their first semester of law school.”
Jordan Pinkstaff, 1L
University of San Diego School of Law
"I am a first-gen law student, and had no idea what law school would be like. I was filled with anxiety; JDEdge really helped me understand what law school will look like, and what actionable steps I could take before starting law school that would prepare me for it."
JDEdge Curriculum
With approximately 20 hours of asynchronous content organized into five modules – plus supplemental resources for use in the first semester – JDEdge demystifies law school and the law school learning process.

"I absolutely loved JDEdge and I realized that I was ahead of my classmates during the first month of school because of what I learned in JDEdge. I am so glad I did it and glad I took it as seriously as I did!"
Toni Miceli, Director of Academic and Bar Exam Success; Professor
Saint Louis University School of Law
"By removing some of the mystery surrounding the law school academic experience and allowing students to jump right in through live classes and exam simulations, JDEdge makes the transition into law school a more comfortable and successful one for all of our students, particularly our first-generation students.”
