School of Law
Support and Wellness
Success Comes From Within
We want all students to have the tools to succeed in law school, and that includes support for their mental and physical well-being.
The School of Law was one of the first law schools in the country to sign the American Bar Association's (ABA) Well-being Pledge in 2019. The law school actively works with the ABA, Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers and other organizations to develop and implement wellness initiatives for students and alumni, and to support initiatives within the broader legal community.
