014: Avoiding Disasters in Law School

We will be honest with you, disasters in law school are inevitable. It's not a question of "if" disasters will happen, but "when." That's why it's crucial to be as prepared as possible to avoid total chaos when bad things happen. Law school is stressful enough without suffering through a total academic or life meltdown!

Alison and Lee share some of their own personal disasters in law school and other situations that you may encounter.

• What is the #1 problem that affects law school students?
• How and why to backup your computer files (seriously, just do it!)
• Ways to prevent and handle exam disasters
• How to prepare for the inevitable life meltdowns
• How to prepare your computer for exams
• How to overcome test anxiety
• How to rebound from a law school disaster
• Why it's important to build community
