Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking about bouncing back and resetting your law school trajectory after a disappointing semester. We discuss how to diagnose when and where things went off course last semester, and we suggest strategies for avoiding making the same mistakes again. We also talk briefly about how to take advantage of academic support resources at your law school and when to reach out for additional help.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Steps for diagnosing the problem(s) with the way that you studied last term
  • How to approach your professors and TAs about disappointing grades
  • Developing and sticking to a weekly study schedule
