Podcasts for Law Students

-

Let's start with this: I love podcasts. Once I find one that I'm into, I find it too easy to put my headphones in and listen to episode after episode all day long. Lately, I've been trying to bring myself away from my current obsession with true crime podcasts by getting into some awesome new podcasts all about the law.

I thought I'd share some of my favorites today; make sure to let me know if you listen to any of them!

The Happy Lawyer Project

Mental health is super important to me, so a podcast that focuses on how to keep yourself sane during law school and the early years of your law career is right up my alley. In addition to its focus on mental health, there are tons of great interviews with awesome lawyers so you can see where a law degree can take you.

Amicus

This podcast by Slate offers up in-depth analyses of current SCOTUS cases on the docket. I love learning about the inner workings of court cases, so this is a great listen for anyone with that interest as well.

I Am the Law

Recent law grads and established lawyers are interviewed in this podcast to talk about their daily lives and their jobs. I heard about this podcast from a friend who wasn't sure about what type of law she wanted to practice, and she loved hearing about the details of all the different lawyers.

Constitutional

The Washington Post produces this podcast and it focuses on bringing the Constitution and US history to the public.

More Perfect

This is another Supreme Court podcast, this time with a focus on the stories behind SCOTUS's current cases. I'm absolutely obsessed with this podcast, and it's easily my most recommended podcast on this list.

ABA Law Student Podcast

This podcast covers just about anything a law student could want, from space law to being successful in law school.

How Law School Helped My Anxiety

-

When I first chose to go to law school, one of my biggest worries was how it would affect my mental health. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety when I was in fifth grade, and it's been a journey to become comfortable with my mental health since then. I already knew that law school is tough on anybody who goes through it, so it's natural that adding depression and anxiety to the mix might make things a bit more difficult. I made sure I was prepared to deal with anything that might come up while figuring what law school is all about. Oddly enough, law school hasn't done anything crazy to my mental health. Obviously, there has been plenty of stress due to the long hours of studying and the long hours of figuring out what the heck res judicata is. But, I'm feeling really great mentally. I think it might have something to do with being so comfortable and happy in law school. There's something special about being surrounded by people who are going throug

Perfect Movies for Law Students

Amidst studying and stressing during law school, you should take some time to relax with your friends--so grab some drinks, curl up on your couch, make some popcorn, and enjoy these movies that'll give you a break from worrying about your own law school experience. Legally Blonde Is anyone shocked this is the first movie I'm recommending? This is an iconic movie full of hilarious quotes, and there's something special about watching an underdog rise to the top and succeed. The Paper Chase This is an Oscar-winning film about a 1L at Harvard attempting to balance his tough classes and his relationship with the daughter of his strictest professor. It showcases the Socratic method in a contract law class and it has me hoping I never have a professor who grills me as much as the students in this movie get grilled. Twelve Angry Men Even if you haven't see this movie, you've definitely watched references to this iconic movie. What starts out as an open-

TV Shows for Law Students

Of course, there's a lot of studying in law school, but sometimes you need a bit of a break. If you're looking for something new to binge watch but want to avoid the guilt of straying too far from anything law-related, check out some of my favorite law shows to watch. How to Get Away with Murder If you like drama and a badass female lawyer, check out How to Get Away with Murder . Although I'm sure my 1L year won't be as exciting as the students in this show, it's still worth the watch. I've only just began watching this show, but I'm already hooked.  The People v. OJ Simpson Not going to lie--I watched this all over the course of two afternoons. Oops. The entire cast is fantastic and it's awesome to see this story unfold with them. While growing up, I only knew of the basics of the OJ case, so it was interesting to learn about all the details.  The Staircase This Netflix original caught my attention because of its loo
