Welcome Law Students!

The New GPSolo Law Student Page!

Solo practitioners and small firm settings are one of the fastest growing practice styles in the profession, so it's not surprising that GPSolo is one of the fastest growing entities in the ABA. Moreover, with 16,000 law student members in GPSolo, the growing trend toward solo/small firm shows no signs of slowing down.

To cater to this growing interest for law students, the General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Division has added helpful articles and tips just for law students. To be updated when new articles are posted, simply subscribe to the RSS feed for your iGoogle, MyYahoo!, or other favorite reader. What is RSS?

Law Student Mental Health Initiative

Law student rates of severe depression and anxiety are increasing rapidly. In fact, between 20-40% of law students graduate with clinical depression.

To respond to this worrying trend, the ABA's Law Student Division has created a Law Student Mental Health Toolkit for Student Bar Associations and Administrators to help improve the mental health of today's law students.

Read through the Toolkit, discuss the Mental Health Initiative with your friends and classmates, and implement programs on your campus to address law student mental health issues.
