Description

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.
In this episode, we talk about:

Whether law school is the hardest thing we've ever done
Ways to make law school harder for yourself, by choosing the wrong school
The impact of stress and anxiety on law students and the legal profession
Why the academics of law school are hard
Why the social aspects of law school are hard
Why the job aspects of law school are hard
Whether law school has gotten even harder in recent years
