two new publications to ease your way in law school
I’ve written about the work law professor Lawrence S. Krieger is doing to “humanize” the law school experience and combat lawyer discontent. A recent trip to his site alerted me to two new booklets he’s authored: The Hidden Sources of Law School Stress and Straight Talk about Your Career Choices. According to the promotional copy, the booklets commonly aim “to assist law students towards optimal performance and well-being in school and in the legal work they ultimately choose. A broader aspiration is to make a modest contribution, over time, to the improvement of the level of health, satisfaction and professionalism among lawyers generally.” Given their content, these works can augment any law school class, clinic or program that might benefit from “a discussion of professionalism, professional skills, or professional stress.” I can’t think of any law school offering that wouldn’t be enhanced by this line of discussion. The site links you to the booklets' content (pdf) for your reviewing pleasure.
