Love it or hate it, there’s no denying law school leaves indelible marks on the psyches of those who attend. Numerous studies show law students suffer disproportionate anxiety, depression, and other psychological dysfunction compared to the public at large. But despite (or perhaps because of) all the stress, tedium, and exhausting workloads, law schools can at times be hilarious places. All lawyers and law students have memories of comic relief that broke the tension and brightened their journey down the long road toward a Juris Doctor degree. Please share yours.
