Don't listen to people who act like "oh the pressure is so much you might want to think about another path", it isn't that what it is, is that you are vested in being important. That is the mainspring of pressure-the fear of what people will think of me if I fail. When you go into an exam and while your nailing this law school thing down you need to just understand that law school is rather like a three year bad joke. I am a 3L I did poorly I believe the other day on my corps final. I don't really "freak out" on exams but I often just simply don't see issues and I often forget what rules apply to what, but I always do ok in the end.I am not vested in being a "awesomest ever" lawyer-many lawyers do poorly in law school. God if we only had Harvard trained picture perfect students practicing law what a bleak world my friend. Look if you get a bad grade who cares? Yes, employers and real life do care but that only begs the question, will that help you overcome your stress knowing that you are to be harshly judged? No, so do not let it. Law school is mainly a lesson in humility and acceptance. Pressure, please, most lawyers cannot handle the pressure though they got out of law school, this fact is reflected in the ridiculous substance and alcohol abuse numbers amongst attorneys. Many law students I know take adderall and valium and ritalin, that's pathetic, if you need drugs now to get through law school wait until you practice and become a pathetic whiny disbarred lawyer. Tis better to face nobly defeat then to hide like a coward and blame other people. So what if your not as smart or as great as you thought, suck it up, drive on and do this deal one day at a time.
Best of luck my friend, I will pray for you and you do the same for me
