It’s a fact: Law students are slaves to their studies. Most of their days are spent in classrooms and dimly lit libraries hunched over a book reading and outlining for hours on end. With all of that dry material to study, law students don’t have a lot of time for entertainment, let alone sleep. This kind of pattern can wreck havoc on a student’s happiness, but there is a way to get in a good laugh every day and you never have to leave the desk to make it happen. Here are the 10 best sites for law students who need a little humor in their lives.
