Mindfulness for Lawyers
Justine Dunlap · University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
Lawyer and law student distress have been a not-so-well-kept secret for decades. Fortunately, law schools have begun to address this problem, rather than viewing it as a necessary or even honorable rite of passage. For instance, law schools have incorporated wellness opportunities. They have also de-emphasized the use and misuse of alcohol as a lubricant to help students ignore the stress and distress.

A Cognitive Perspective on Emotion
Mark Pettinelli · Northeastern University
Some things in life cause people to feel, these are called emotional reactions. Some things in life cause people to think, these are sometimes called logical or intellectual reactions. Thus life is divided between things that make you feel and things that make you think. The question is, if someone is feeling, does that mean that they are thinking less? It probably does. If part of your brain is being occupied by feeling, then it makes sense that you have less capacity for thought.
