New insights from LSSSE 2024–2025 data reveal how law students are spending their limited discretionary time, such as on reading, exercise, socializing, and sleep. While many students make room for leisure and self‑care, sleep remains consistently constrained, raising important questions about learning, well‑being, and institutional expectations.

New insights from LSSSE and the 2021 Survey of Law Student Well-Being highlight how widespread trauma among law students can intensify stress and anxiety in law school. National survey data show that many students enter or experience trauma during law school, and those affected report higher stress, greater mental health and substance‑use challenges, and lower help‑seeking.

📝 New Blog Post: Professional Skills Development by Age

New LSSSE findings show that law students across all age groups generally feel confident about their professional preparation but their experiences aren’t identical. Younger students report the strongest confidence in areas like bar exam readiness, practice readiness, and skills development, while older students tend to be more critical, especially around practical and life management skills.

These differences matter. They remind law schools that students arrive with varied professional backgrounds, responsibilities, and expectations.

📝 New Blog Post: From Application to Graduation: What LSAC and LSSSE Data Reveal About Students With Disabilities

Jak Petzold (LSSSE Research Analyst) and Deb Langer (LSAC Applied Research Analyst) discuss how students with disabilities face barriers such as stigma and disclosure concerns from the application stage through graduation. LSAC and LSSSE data show:

• Fewer than half disclose disabilities on all applications, often fearing disadvantage.
• 1 in 5 law students report a disability, most commonly anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
• Disabled students are highly engaged but report lower satisfaction and belonging.

These findings reveal a system where barriers accumulate unless institutions act.
