Mitchell Hamline’s efforts around the wellness of its students\u2014including the 2022 opening of a wellness center<\/a> on the first floor of the law school’s campus building\u2014were featured in the Winter 2024 issue of preLaw magazine.<\/p>\n

Writer Trevor Mason noted in an article entitled \u201cIt’s OK to not be OK\u201d that law schools are \u201cnow doing more to help students manage the stress of legal education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dean of Students Lynn LeMoine ’11 discussed Mitchell Hamline’s unique take on wellness work. \u201cThe faculty and administration are really invested in supporting law student well-being,\u201d she told preLaw. \u201cThat allows us to be more creative with the kinds of things that we try here, because there\u2019s just such universal support for this.\u201d One cited example was the law school previously had a single contracted mental health counselor who was available ten hours a week. Now, Mitchell Hamline contracts with five counselors for 40 hours of available time.<\/p>\n
