Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is just around the corner. For many non-traditional law students this means final exams. Studying for finals during the end-of-year holiday season is especially difficult. While you may have the urge to take some short-cuts preparing for finals during the holidays, you should resist that urge. Law professors do not take into consideration the holiday season when writing exams. Don’t consider it when studying for them either.

You must do some serious planning ahead of time of how the holidays are going to be balanced with law school. It can be done. With some proper time management and a little planning you can make the holiday season a wonderful and enjoyable time and still prepare sufficiently for your end-of-year final exams. Keep up the great work.
