Written by Kathryne M. Young, a law professor with a JD and PhD from Stanford, this book draws on one of the most ambitious studies of law students ever conducted, surveying over 1,000 students across more than 100 law schools. Rather than assuming every student should aspire to law-review-and-big-firm success, Young offers a different lens: practical tools for finding focus, purpose, and genuine wellbeing throughout law school, grounded in real sociological research rather than conventional wisdom.
