If you are just beginning law school in a full-time program, you have about 1000 days until you sit for the bar examination-- but you have only 90 days until you sit for your first semester final examinations. Most law students have been anticipating the start of law school for weeks, months or years and includes a wide variety of individuals with differing reasons for attending law school, all intending to succeed. Why do so many first-year law students express high levels of anxiety, depression, isolation, "drowning," a sense of imminent and inevitable failure, intense frustration, lack of control, depression, and ominous foreboding within 90 days of beginning school? Perhaps they have exited positions of academic, social, or executive leadership and may believe the institution they are entering is merely an advanced version of what they were so good at before. Approach law school with the same rigor, detail, planning and strategizing you intend to employ in the professional practice of law.
