Law school’s notorious stress takes a toll on even the most determined students.
But for a group of 20-somethings at New York University School of Law, an ancient tradition offers a framework for handling the pressure.
“Many parts of Hinduism are so well-suited to being able to handle such a high-stress profession,” said Roshni Yaradi, the co-chair of the new Hindu Law Students Association.
“If every other religious group has an organization at NYU Law, why don’t we?” thought Rachita Bommakanti, a fellow second-year student and Yaradi’s co-chair.
And hopefully, they say, being more “openly Hindu” will inspire existing Hindu lawyers and other professionals to share how their faith intersects with their job.
