This time of year, the demands of the semester can begin to take a toll on students’ emotional and physical well-being, and that toll can be especially great for first-year students.
Professor Lawrence Krieger of Florida State University College of Law has put together a great little booklet entitled "The Hidden Sources of Law School Stress,"in which he illuminates many of the hidden dynamics that create or exacerbate students’ stress, and then offers practical "antidotes" to those dynamics and their effects.
Take a minute to read it. I think you’ll find his insights and advice a wonderful tonic not only for your students but for yourself as well. (DBW)
