“What do lawyers learn in law school? They learn to win… what they’ve got to start thinking is how do they solve problems.” -Benjamin Carson Law school can be a painfully long process. For some, it’s worth it. For others, the painfully long process can be stressful and mentally challenging. Although the path to becoming a lawyer is very demanding, a person can reduce the stress by studying the positive, negative, and mentally challenging aspects that he or she may face. Some may worry about the affects of law school, but they need to remember there are a lot of positives in it. First of all, it all depends on the type of person you are in law school to see if your mental health will be affected. The Wellness Committee at Indiana Law School is a safe haven for students suffering from depression, anxiety, extreme stress, or any other types of mental health issues.So, considering that some law schools have clinics and doctors to help the mentally sick, people can also seek advice or help off-site, or off campus. For instance, the JLAP (Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program) is not on a specific campus but it is a place where you can seek assistance. The program will keep all of their patient’s problems and concerns confidential so they need no stress about their peers knowing. (Covington)
Just because you have heard about the struggles of some people who have had a mental illness from their college era doesn’t mean that you will too. For example, individuals that choose
Think regarding why you need to turn into a lawyer, including any individuals or occasions that drove you toward law school.
Is College Worth the Cost? As college has been becoming an increasingly bigger topic of conversation, many argue whether college is worth the cost. Higher levels of education unfortunately come with a hefty price tag, although it is one of our country's top priorities. These costs can add up quickly and can be discouraging to a new incoming student.
Achieving a college degree is worth the time and effort as well as the financial struggle because there is more to be gained besides context knowledge. College is something that has dropped in importance as less and less people attend every year. These students are unsure as to whether it is worth it.Parents push their kids towards college and some even tell them not to go because of financial problems. This pressure students to make a life changing decision. This is all things that may keep a student from a secondary education that could kick-start a new and better life.
As an active college student, the question of whether or not college is worth the investment is an important one to consider. With tuition rates continuing to rise every year in an economy slowly recovering from a deep recession, alternative paths of career development such as trade school, military service, or entrepreneurship have become more appealing than ever. For the average person however, research reveals when it comes to employment access and stability, securing higher levels of income, and long-term job satisfaction, a college degree is still the most reliable and safest road to travel.
College is an expensive and time-consuming choice, in which energy and effort must be exerted in. David Leonhardt argues that attending college and securing a college degree is worth the debt. However, Chris Matthews argues that even with a college degree, the crippling debt does not outweigh the pros of obtaining a degree. I believe attending college and obtaining a degree is worth the effort and debt for a rewarding job.
According to the Dave Nee foundation, an organization committed to educating the public about depression and suicide, lawyers are the most frequently depressed occupational group in America (daveneefoundation.org). I can bring the light of Christ into the lives of my clients and coworkers, especially with so many of my future associates struggling to manage their experiences. After I took an interest in law, I began asking family friends and teachers who have pursued law degrees about the various obstacles and paths a law student can encounter. They all agree the most important thing an aspiring law student can do is take rigorous classes to prepare them for law school. As a result of hearing their advice, I began looking

Education has always been a priority for most households because students were raised thinking a higher education equals high paying jobs, but is that really the case? This thought had definitely settled into my mind, but times have changed and so have I. We live in a day and age where students have to be lured into choosing a school based on how luxurious the dorms are or how big the gym is, and not so much on newly renovated science labs. What happened to attend school for education? For some careers, obtaining a college degree has no use and they’re better off spending money on a trade school or finding a job and gaining experience specifically catered to their profession instead. The lack of interest in college students during class shows that college is not worth the high cost and debt that can delay a person from buying a house or saving for retirement.
Texas Senate Bill 11, known as the campus carry law, has many people outraged, while others are pleased with its passing. Society is at odds about gun control and having guns on campuses, which for some, are like small towns and like those small towns are dealing with similar issues concerning the 2nd amendment. One must look at the 2nd amendment, from the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights (1791) , and its true meaning of the “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms.” The 2nd amendment was put into place to have armed citizens who could be called upon in times of war. The colonists in America had the right to bear arms as would any Englishman under British rule. Because of the armed colonists and their ability to rally an army, they won their freedom against the British. America’s forefathers saw this to be prudent and included the 2nd amendment in the Bill of Rights. The Founding Fathers knew it was expedient that citizens have this right should another tyrannical government try to impose its rights
Looking back, my aspirations of wishing to attend law school are not so apparent as others may have had. Unfortunately, I was not one of the high school students that woke up one day and realized I knew what I wanted to spend the entirety of my life doing after school. After taking a psychology class I was intrigued with the subject. The thought of knowing what made people tick peaked my interest. This feeling was even more reinforced by seeing psychology in the media, from news broadcasting all the way to fictional shows such as Criminal Minds.
As a junior in high school, I am already worrying about my potential college education in the future. College is daunting, especially for someone in a lower middle-class family, like myself. We barely have enough money to pay bills sometimes. As much as I would like to go to college and further my education, I do not believe that college is worth the cost.
From when I was ten until I was fifteen, I wanted to become a lawyer. I’ve always had impressive public speaking skills, a persuasive personality, and a knack for debate, so it seemed like the perfect fit for me. However, upon a taking a law class my sophomore year, I realized that lawyering might not be exactly what I expected it to be. As I learned about the different laws and the complexities of the court system I was
A scholar starts law school by taking courses in constitutional law, property law, legal writing, contracts, and torts. If desired, a student can take supplementary courses based of their interests, such as corporate law, tax law, or labor law. During the given amount of time in law school, students may partake in mock trials, attend legal clinics, and write for a law journal. Homework in law school is built around reading. A student reads about 350-500 of multifaceted material each week. The reading is very dissimilar than a textbook. A student reads out of casebooks, which are books with cases in it written by judges. When you read a case you have to "brief" it, this means spotting the legal issue, rule or principle of law, the courts analysis, and application of that law to the case facts and the supposition of the court. Students must take 15 credits per semester. Class is distinctive compared to college or high school. There is no such thing as a lecture in a law school class, the teacher teaches by Socratic method. This works based upon the professor will call on a student at random and drill them with questions about that days reading assignment. This can intimidating at first but eventually it becomes second nature. A student’s grade for a typical law school course is based entirely on one final exam at the end of the semester. The exams are not like college tests. A typical essay question will just be a long set of facts that the student has to read and apply the law to the situation. Multiple-choice questions are also long sets of facts with choices that apply the law to them. Upon effectively accomplishing law school, it is suggested to complete a part-time or summer
Law school admissions plays an active role in shaping the future of the legal profession, as the composition of the legal profession has been largely determined by Law School Admissions Committees. The legal system reflects the cultural, social, and economic views of legally trained individuals. The types of individuals who receive formal legal training shape the legal system through their values, personal experiences, and identity. Since the legal system reflects the cultural, social, and economic views of legally trained individuals, and is intended to benefit all members of society , the admissions process has the greatest impact on the composition of the student body , and arguably, the legal system as a whole.
This current study analyzes student behavior and their attitudes and motivation behind going to law school. Research for this study was conducted in a classroom setting and through interviews, within both a public law school and a private law school.
