Podcast Episode 2: Why is Law School Hard?

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! In the prior episode, we talked about Mindset and how important it is to work on cultivating a growth mindset. Today, we’re talking about why law school is hard! Not to scare you, but to provide context and alert you to some of the challenges you might face. Forewarned is forearmed. And remember, a challenge – seen the right way – is just an opportunity for growth and learning.

• The impact of stress and anxiety on law students and the legal profession
• Why the academics of law school are hard
