Law students have high rates of depression, anxiety, and fatigue. Professor Kathryne M. Young set out to learn why and to figure out what to do about it. Young conducted one of the most ambitious studies of law students ever undertaken, charting the experiences of over 1000 law students from over 100 different law schools, along with hundreds of alumni, dropouts, law professors, and more. Named an Above the Law "Distinguished Dozen" legal book of 2018!
How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School is different from previous law school books. Instead of assuming law students should all aspire to the same ideas of success, Young draws on sociological and psychological research to figure out how law students can learn to tune out conventional expectations and create a law school experience that will work for them as individuals.
Packed with practical tools for finding focus, happiness, and a sense of purpose while facing the onslaught of problems law school presents, this book is an indispensable companion for current and future law students, their families, and anyone who cares about making law students' lives better. Bursting with data, ideas, warmth, and wit, How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School offers a blueprint for a whole new kind of law school experience. You can order it here.
