*Please join us for a post-talk reception honoring Umass students headed 
to law school in the fall. *

Are you interested in attending law school? If so, then come talk with 
Prof. Katie Young about her new book /How to be (Sort of) Happy in Law 
School/ and learn how to approach law school on your own terms: how to 
tune out the drumbeat of oppressive expectations and conventional wisdom 
to create a new breed of law school experience altogether.

/*How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School* 
<https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=27727>/ is smart, compelling, and 
highly readable. Combining her own observations and experiences with the 
results of her own in-depth study and the latest sociological research 
on law schools, Young offers a very different take from previous books 
about law school survival. Instead of assuming students should all 
aspire to law-review-and-big-firm notions of success, Prof. Young 
provides students with practical tools for finding focus, happiness, and 
a sense of purpose while facing the seemingly endless onslaught of 
problems law school presents daily.

This book is an indispensable companion for today's law students, 
prospective law students, and anyone who cares about making law 
students' lives better. Bursting with warmth, realism, and a touch of 
firebrand wit, /How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School/ equips law 
students with much-needed wisdom for thriving during those three crucial 
years.

*Kathryne M. Young <https://www.umass.edu/sociology/users/young>* is 
Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Massachusetts, 
Amherst, where she teaches courses on social psychology, criminal 
procedure, and sociology of law. Young holds a JD from Stanford Law 
School, a PhD from Stanford University, and an MFA from Oregon State 
University.

Co-Sponsored by: UMass Departments of History, Sociology, Legal Studies, 
and the Pre-Law Advising Office.
