Abstract
This Article examines and criticizes the ways legal academia treats law students’ academic struggle as a problem and suggests that legal educators reorient their attitudes toward struggle by forgiving and embracing student struggle, and even building opportunities for struggle into the curriculum. By normalizing the fact of struggle, law schools will not only improve the wellness of their students but will create lawyers who are better prepared to cope with the constant problem-solving required of a successful lawyer.
