Welcome to The Law School Playbook!  I’m Halle Hara, a professor of academic success and personal skills coach to law students and attorneys.  I’m glad you’re here!  I’m a few years older than you.  When I wanted information growing up, I turned to an outdated set of encyclopedias my parents bought from a door-to-door salesman or I went to the library.  Reading is different today.  Inquiring minds no longer grab the musty, dust-covered encyclopedias from the shelf but instead are immersed in digital media approximately seven hours per day.  This progress is truly amazing—nearly every question you can conceive of can be answered in a few clicks.  However, reading in this digital age has taken a toll on our intellect.
