Ultimate List of Law Student Essentials

This Canon Wireless Printer is super affordable and, more importantly, reliable. This is the printer I use in my personal office, and I love not having to worry or fuss over the printer when I need a document quickly!

Law students print… a lot, especially when it comes time to study for and take finals. Stock up on printer paper now, and you’ll be glad to not have to worry about it come finals time.

When you want–or need–to tune out the world… because you have a ton of studying. These wireless headphones are noise-canceling, but they also have a transparency mode for times you need to be more alert.

For those long nights studying. Death Wish describes itself as the “world’s strongest coffee”. Need I say more?

I absolutely love this wireless charger because it makes life so much easier, and it’s affordable and portable.

A wireless mouse is an absolute law student essential! This mouse is actually a gaming mouse, but I use it every day… and I don’t game. You’ll love it.

But if you are looking for something portable, you can’t go wrong with this one!

…And I also use this charging mouse pad every day. It’s a bit of an investment, but it’s worth it to always have a wireless mouse ready to go and never have to worry about batteries or charging it.

I have this in my home office too, and I love it! Having a quality cork board is so helpful, especially when it comes to remembering important things and hanging fun memories to brighten your day. Because every law student needs some fun in their life!

Sleep is essential for law school success, and I swear by my Casper Sleep Pillow. It’s particularly great if you are prone to stiff necks and don’t like a pillow that’s too firm. Either way, a great pillow is a solid investment for law school!

Breathe easy with this Levoit Air Purifier for your new apartment. Especially if you are in a big city, this will give you one less thing to worry about, so you can focus more energy on studying and less on creating a healthy environment

Every law student needs a lap desk because law students study at their desk… on the couch… in their bed. Let’s face it, law students study everywhere.

Yes, law school requires a lot of sitting. Sitting to read, sitting to study, sitting to write. You get this picture.

This memory foam seat cushion will make all that sitting so much easier! No one said law school is easy, and it certainly isn’t easy on your posture.

On top of everything else law students have on their plates, worrying about what to eat can be stressful. An Instant Pot is a great way to help your law student eat healthily.

If you’re detecting a theme here, you’re onto something. Law students like–no need–caffeine. Keep them fully caffeinated and warm with this temperature-controlled smart mug.

If you read my blog, you know I write a lot about Getting to Maybe. That’s because I like to joke that this book saved my 1L life. As a first-generation professional and lawyer, I had no idea how to write a law school exam. And I’m so glad someone turned me on to this resource. It might not have actually saved my life, but it sure did save my GPA!

And this is at the very top of my list of best books for prelaw students. Future law students check out Getting to Maybe, so you can spend your summer doing very light pre-1L summer prep and relaxing!

Yes. My list of books every law student should read is noticeably short. That’s because I think the most important thing you can do in law school is to develop healthy outlets. One of my healthy outlets was reading for pleasure, which I did every night before bed to help me fall asleep. If you are like, then you’ll love a Kindle!
