I'm an Australian law student as well and completely agree with taking it down a notch when you need to! Law, like medicine or engineering, or any rigorous study program, is really a marathon and not a race. Love that more people in law are talking about how essential it is to monitor and where necessary take action to protect your mental health :)

[@sariahkate1380]

I’m a third year law student in Brisbane and I WISH I had this video from day one

[@williamharris5663]

I have found being a mature aged student, studying law at 31, it has been a lot less perceived pressure. The break from rote learning in secondary education allows an easier introduction to the legal reasoning. I feel bad for the younger students that are determined to pick the 'right' side of a case, rather than focusing on the development of quality argument for both participants. Tl;dr Focus on a sound argument, rather than the correct outcome.

[@bigbird8460]

hey i am the same age and ive completed 4 units so far from my law degree, any tips on how i can better my writing skills and legal reasoning. I agree with you on the pressure and stress part i dont feel it like when i was younger.

When for example I want to study criminal law but I’m an undergraduate student when I go to school do I study law in general first then branch off at a later stage or what?

[@Jacksalotl]

[@keatongroom]
