Podcast Episode 322: Keeping Motivation Strong Throughout Your 3L Year

December 21, 2021 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today’s episode is based on a listener’s question on how to deal with the unique challenges of 3L year, such as finding the motivation to study, balancing different responsibilities, and dealing with anxieties over bar exam prep and student loans.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What are some of the challenges and opportunities that show up in the final year of law school?
  • Classes that make sense to take in 3L year
  • Handling the job hunt or career transition process
  • Starting to think about bar exam prep
  • Loans and finance considerations
  • Fun stuff you can do while still a student
  • And finally, where to turn if you find you’re really struggling?

Thanks for listening!
