Pre-Law Discussions, CALI News Top Law Student Blog has this advice:
"...This is one of the best, little-known tips to getting an advantage in law school that I’ve seen: Listen to lectures for all your classes this summer, and when you enter class this fall, you will already have a general understanding of major concepts, terms, and policies..."

I think this is a great idea. As a law student who did little (no) preparation coming into law school, I suggest you prepare in some way for law school. Law school was just such a different environment and experience than I could have imagined, and some kind of background would have been extremely helpful. And this is how our Podcasting Project can help pre-laws.
In the project's initial semester (Spring 06), we had 40+ professors at different schools podcast their classes, either in lecture form or in review of lecture format. The professor blogs which host each professor's podcasts can be found here. Nothing is really organized yet, but there are several professors who podcasted their first year courses if one wants to sort through them.
Top Law Student Blog suggests a couple of commercial lecture series which look to cost about $50 per subject. As CALI's podcasting project progresses into future and as more professors jump on board with a wider variety of classes, these podcasts could become a great free alternative to these commercial lecture series for students looking to prepare for law school by listening to lectures.
