As I sat down to write this review of the seventh edition of
the ALWD Guide to Legal Citation, posters throughout the law
school were promoting events relating to Law Student Mental
Health Week, an annual event sponsored by the ABA Commis-
sion on Lawyer Assistance Programs, Law School Committee,
and the ABA Law Student Division. The free online events of-
fered during the week are designed to help students deal with the
many challenges and stresses they encounter while in law school
and to help them recommit to [their] personal well-being.'
Recognizing that mental-health issues among law students are
acute, the Association of American Law Schools recently formed
the Section on Balance in Legal Education, which offers courses
and programs in anxiety, stress management, and well-being, in-
cluding well-being teaching strategies.2 Many law schools offer an
array of mental-health and wellness services to students, from
counseling to yoga classes.'
