Mindfulness has been found to help law students manage stress and improve performance. In a 2019 study of first-year MU law students, researchers found that ILs who took a mindfulness training in the 8 weeks before fall semester finals were less stressed, better focused, and happier heading into exams than they were midway through the semester.
