New Documentary About 1L Life
The Trials of Law School is a new documentary film about 1L life and times. From the synopsis:
[T]he film captures both the stress and emotion, both inside the classroom and out, as [eight students] try to juggle family and relationships with school commitments. These students, including a single mother looking for a fresh start, a husband and father of four, and a military wife trying to raise six children, compete with competitive and highly successful peers for grades and jobs that will determine their future.
Their journey is contrasted with insights from over 25 acclaimed law professors and legal scholars from around the country.

The most inspirational person in my law school class was the mother of three wee ones who lived an hour away and NEVER missed a class. Those days when I didn't want to get out of bed, I reminded myself that she'd been up for hours and was already on the road. Kudos to those tackling law school with these added burdens.
