Most law schools refer to students as 1Ls, 2Ls and 3Ls, not first/second/third years. You might refer to your first year of law school (as opposed to your 1L year), but during your first year, you are a 1L.
That said, I think there still may be a few schools out there that use the older terms (dating from when law schools usually awarded LL.B. degrees, which is technically a bachelor's degree, rather than J.D. degrees) -- Juniors, Middlers and Seniors.
