Before embarking on the life-altering, three-year journey of law school, law students need actionable tools to stay grounded, mindful, and connected to their purpose. Although exam-taking skills and outlining strategies are important, first-year law students also need guidance that recognizes their humanity. For example, when students make mistakes, or when things do not go as planned, how will they course correct? Do they have a recovery plan to get back on track? How will they respond to fear? Setbacks? Worry? Stress? Feelings of imposterhood? What if they don’t measure up to their own definition of success or the definitions others set? How to Show up and Shine in Law School with Gratitude, Grit and Grace transcends traditional advice on how to excel in law school by focusing on mindfulness, gratitude, worthiness, and how to persevere in the face of unexpected challenges. After reading this book, students will feel empowered to think, act, and be expansive in law school.
