Welcome

If you're a law student, you may have noticed--if you actually attend class and care--that law school can get a little stressful at times. It is my hope that this blog will help you survive the 3 year race to to the finish line, which, at the beginning seems to be a very long ways away. I started this blog to help law students discover ways to alleviate at least some of the stresses associated with law school. Let's face it, stress can kill! And if it doesn't kill, it at least can't be good for you, right? In my experience, stress can cause all sorts of problems: physical problems, emotional problems, social problems, etc. The last thing you want is mo' problems, especially now that you're shelling out thousands of dollars you don't have and giving up 3 years of your life to live in case books.

My goal is to provide you, the law student, with tips and tricks that may help reduce some of that pent up stress. I will post one tip or trick each week that will fall in one of three categories: (1) ways to save money, (2) ways to save time, and (3) ways to study more efficiently and effectively. The fact is that most of our stress comes from one of these three areas: money, time, and grades. I hope you will find this blog useful. Please feel free to make any comments about my tips and tricks and please share any stress-reducing suggestions of your own. I will, of course, review your comments and suggestions first before posting them. (We don't want to let the crazies post anything they want here.)
