Review:
The author provides a realistic view on how being a law student could be stressful at times. This book combines the author’s own observations with the results of her research study by charting the experiences of over 1000 law students. Given that this book is not research-focused, the author made her points with a humorous twist and witty remarks. Therefore, if you are looking for a fun yet informative book, this one's for you.
Personal favourite: Ch. 9 The Art of Alleviating Stress
This chapter is dedicated to teaching us how to reduce stress. In law school, we easily fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. While some degree of stress could motivate us to do better, constantly comparing ourselves to peers could backfire. Thus, this chapter would be for you if you are constantly experiencing stress or suffering from imposter syndrome. It is important to remember that there is always time for you to improve and it is totally permissible to take a break from school if you are feeling overwhelmed.
