Now that we are a few weeks into the Fall semester, students are beginning to figure out the routines that work best for them as they engage in their studies.  They are learning how to prepare for classes, how to write effective answers to legal questions, how to get enough sleep, and how to manage stress. For students who want to better understand how to develop strategies for law school success, information can be found within the law library’s collections.  The following are just a few of the titles that can be consulted.
