Each year, over 40,000 new students enter America's law schools.
Each new crop experiences startlingly high rates of depression,
anxiety, fatigue, and dissatisfaction. Kathryne M. Young was one of
those disgruntled law students. After finishing law school (and a
PhD), she set out to learn more about the law school experience and
how to improve it for future students. 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. How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School is
smart, compelling, and highly readable. Combining her own
observations and experiences with the results of her study and the
latest sociological research on law schools, Young offers a very
different take from previous books about law school survival.
Instead of assuming her readers should all aspire to
law-review-and-big-firm notions of success, Young teaches students
how to approach law school on their own terms: how to tune out the
drumbeat of oppressive expectations and conventional wisdom to
create a new breed of law school experience altogether. Young
provides readers with practical tools for finding focus, happiness,
and a sense of purpose while facing the seemingly endless onslaught
of problems law school presents daily. This book is an
indispensable companion for today's law students, prospective law
students, and anyone who cares about making law students' lives
better. Bursting with warmth, realism, and a touch of firebrand
wit, How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School equips law students with
much-needed wisdom for thriving during those three crucial years.
