Studies have found alarming rates of depression, anxiety, stress, dissatisfaction among law students and attorneys. But it doesn’t have to be that way! This course will explore what’s hard about law school and, more important, how to improve the experience. Guided by materials from sociology, psychology, and those who study legal pedagogy, we will talk about what law students can do to foster their own happiness, and how they can tackle law school on their own terms (avoiding - as much as possible - the “shoulds.)” Students will emerge from this class with the tools to get the most out of these critical, and potentially wonderful, three years in law school.
This class is among the special Fall 2020 1L elective seminars designed to give entering 1Ls an extra opportunity to form connections despite our remote form of interaction. In light of that goal, these classes will expect real-time attendance and may not be recorded. These classes will all be graded on a Credit/No Credit basis and total written work requirement will be no more than 8 double-spaced pages.
