Law School Exams are Stressful (In Case You Didn't Already Know)

By Scott Felsenthal et al.

It has felt like a very strange year in law school for me- particularly because all of my exams fall after Winter break. This is the first year it has been like this for me, and I don't really like it that much. Four exams (Jan 21st and 29th, Feb. 4th and 7th) seems like a bit much, and as each day approaches I feel more overwhelmed than the previous day. The exams are in business associations, conflicts of law, wills and trusts, and federal income taxation- not exactly the most exciting of topics. I have been working on outlines for all these exams for the past 4 weeks, and I am just about ready to start studying them and attempting to commit them all to memory. Wish me luck.

Anyways, I came across this brief article (or list) the other day titled "Five Indispensable Tips for Law Students and New Lawyers." The tips offered by the author seem to be very practicable and probably should be taken seriously as they could potentially help you more easily transition from a law student to a practicing attorney.
