Welcome to ARC's Fall Academic Enrichment page! On this Canvas site you can find a large collection of resources that will help you with academic skills, exam prep, essay practice, and other things every 1L needs to master for a successful law school experience.
Regardless of your level of familiarity with law school, we hope that these modules will provide some much-needed basic information along with strategies to help you succeed from the first day of class. The information provided here is not a prescription for how you should approach your 1L year. Each student will find their own set of practices that will help them thrive in law school. Our advice is based on our observations of what helps students succeed. We encourage all students to at least skim this information now and return to it over the course of the semester.
You can move through this material at your own pace and it will be available to you throughout your 1L year. We will add more resources over the course of fall semester. These modules include video lessons, articles, practice questions, and all of our workshop materials.
We have grouped all of the content pages in modules by topic. You can easily browse content pages by clicking "Modules" on the left side of the page. Below you'll find a brief overview of each module:
