Managing Time

Professor Joyce Savio Herleth, a veteran Academic Support professional, is the Director of Academic Advising at St. Louis University School of Law. Professor Herleth counsels, "When you think about law school, you should be thinking about problem-solving and learning the legal analytic way to solve those problems. However, one of the first problems you might face is having enough time to learn legal analysis, to complete your readings, to write your assignments."  Read what else she has to say about this critical aspect of law school success.

Professor Amy Jarmon, Assistant Dean for Texas Tech University School of Law's Academic Succes Programs, writes about the importance of managing time as a law student.  Balance? Yes! Procrastination? No!  Professor Jarmon explains, "Yes, it is difficult.  Yes, you have to be intelligent.  Yes, you have to be committed.  But, no, you do not have to study round the clock, lose sleep, and never see your family or friends."
