Connecting Law Student Wellbeing to Enhanced Performance

Room 109

While deficits in wellbeing are connected to impaired cognitive performance, recent research has found that teaching the skills for wellbeing enhances student performance on standardized tests, and improves study habits, homework submission, grades, and long-term academic success, as well as adult education attainment, health, and wealth. This presentation leverages research findings from Neuroscience, Positive Psychology, and Positive Education to explore the intersection of improved wellbeing, enhanced performance, and enriched professional identity development for law students and lawyers. Participants will learn applicable wellbeing skills.
