Hobbies in Law School

Finding the free time to pursue hobbies while in law school might seem like an impossible or even inadvisable task. But hobbies can be a great source of stress relief and even a buffer against anxiety and depression. In a recent article in the Journal of Legal Education, Susan Greene writes about the benefits of knitting, even comparing the planning and organization required to start a knitting project with planning and writing a memo. She also encourages law faculty to share their hobbies with their students.

Whether you’re into knitting, baking, pick-up basketball, or something else, you can probably enhance your wellness in law school with a fun hobby that takes your mind off outlining.
