Relationships in Law School

Relationships are often very much on the mind of prospective law school students and their partners. I’ve written before about managing long-distance relationships in law school and maintaining healthy law school relationships. In this post, I look at how individuals and couples can prepare themselves for the law school experience.

I was inspired to write this post by the work of David Richo, author of How to Be an Adult in Relationships. I spoke with David recently about what drives us in relationships and how a relationship can weather the changes brought on by law school.

If you are in a relationship where you or your sweetheart are about to start law school, or if you are considering law school and wondering if a relationship is even possible, you owe it to yourself to listen to this fascinating conversation.

While you are listening to the interview, take a look at two titles from David that will help you as you consider law school and its impact on your relationship:
