Over the weekend there was a lot of talk in my house about Easter baskets, which got me thinking about law school survival baskets. If you know a law student who is about to start studying for spring exams or perhaps the bar exam, consider making them an Exam Survival Basket. Pre-assembled gift baskets are readily available online, but for a fraction of the cost you can create your own. You may want to include things from the list below—in no particular order:
Headache medicine
Pepto bismol
Daytime cold or allergy medicine
Tissues
Trail mix or granola bars
Beef jerky or peanut butter
Law student’s favorite snack
Hard candy
Water bottle
Coffee shop gift card or K-cups
Empty Ziploc bags
Ear plugs (cordless)
Stress ball or playdough
Pencils
Pens
Highlighters
Notecards
Jumpdrive
Poster board for mind-maps
Contact case and saline solution
Eye drops
Backup reading glasses
Sleeping mask
Good luck token, like a stuffed animal
University branded swag like a coffee mug or hooded sweatshirt
Business card of the law student’s bar preparation / academic support professor
Happy belated Easter! Happy Passover! Happy April!
