Struggling with your mental health? Of course you are, you’re in law school! And thanks to freely given data from your career services office and Palantir, it is abundantly clear that you haven’t been making the most out of law school’s most important lifeline for reducing your anxiety — office hours! As part of the ABA’s ongoing commitment to diversity, all ABA accredited law schools will be required to demand that law professors meet their “Mental Check-In” quota — wellness check tinged cold calls made directly to your personal phones — all in the interest of fair play and substantial well-being! While you won’t be legally required to divulge any personal information, it is worth noting that professors may take note of your responses if their syllabi require classroom participation. Arizona’s Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law is the first school to opt-in to the mandatory program. You can see the professors at work below:
Coming to a school near you! Unless you happen to attend a school in Florida or Texas where ABA standards have no power.
Happy April Fools’ Day!
