This networking event is for law students to meet and learn from practicing
attorneys from the MSBA Health Law Section and the Minnesota Disability Bar
Association. This is a great opportunity to network with attorneys in a low
pressure environment. We encourage you to bring your classmates and meet
fellow law students and attorneys! The attorneys who are attending this
event want to meet you, so we encourage you to stop by for even just 15
minutes!
We know networking can cause a lot of anxiety for some people. Below are
some wonderful resources if you are feeling anxious:

Quick Pick-Me-Up
It is a struggle to stay motivated after Spring Break. We wish we were
still on a beach somewhere, too! But, summer is close, so keep it up!
You’ve got this!
Some tips to stay motivated:
1.
Remind yourself why you want to study law in the first place!
2.
Focus on your personal success
3.
Take some breaks!
4.
Shake up your study sessions – try studying with friends, in a new
location, or at a different time
5.
Keep your workspace organized
6.
Ignore the noise and stay true to yourself
7.
Talk to a mentor
8.
Set short term goals
9.
Make a list and cross things off as you go
10.
If you ignored us the first time, take a break! Seriously, it makes a
difference.
11. Most importantly, never give up!
