Wellness Resources for Law Students

Law school can be a stressful experience. Remember to take time for yourself and your personal well-being to be the best law student and lawyer you can be! Below is a list of useful resources focusing on mindfulness techniques, and wellness resources to help you during final exams and beyond.

"Research, statistical, and anecdotal data have established that the study and practice of law are stressful. Until recently, stress has been considered part of the law learning and practice  experience without regard to the damage that such stress can inflict. Yet, law schools have been slow to recognize this crisis for their students and slow to offer any meaningful remedies.

One way to help students learn to manage stress and live more reflectively, rather than reactively, is to introduce mindfulness . . . Addressing these needs . . . through mindfulness education sends a message acknowledging student stress and valuing the worthiness of the students, giving them permission to seek happiness and balance in their lives, even while studying the law."
