(S/U only)
This course seeks to complement and enhance the rest of the law school curriculum by promoting students’ abilities to learn, test, support self and others, and perform to maximum capacity during law school, on the bar exam, and then as a professional. To achieve these purposes, the course provides scientifically validated principles and practices to eliminate stress and maximize mental clarity, energy, overall health, and emotional balance.
Credit-earning activities include full attendance and active engagement with the principles and practices provided in the course, both during all classes and outside of class. Practices and reflections on progress during the week replace the outside readings and academic writing more typical of doctrinal courses. Students thereby learn to establish routines for the practices they find most beneficial, and to overcome obstacles to improving health, well-being, and performance.
