The Slacker's Guide to Law School: Success Without Stress Book

The title of this book, The Slackers Guide to Law School, might strike some as irreverent. "Slacker" is a term of pride and even endearment among the latest generation of student, however, this book gives prospective law students a realistic idea of what exactly they are getting into. This book is not about laziness, but about succeeding on one's own terms. Thus the subtitle: Success Without Stress. Students should: (1) Set their own goals and not get caught up in the hype of what everyone else is pursuing. (2) Establish methods of study, fine-tuning one that works best. (3) Maintain a healthy life balance. For the careful slacker it is possible to make time for hobbies, socializing, dating, or even starting a family. This reduces stress, makes law school more enjoyable, and as shown in this book can boost performance in class.
