I don't really know what to say about this:
Time and Space to Meditate at the Law School
Beginning on Wednesday, March 12th, the TV Lounge in Zief Law Library will be
reserved at regular times for meditation for members of the Law School community.
There will be Guided Meditation Instruction and Discussion on Wednesdays from
12:30 pm – 1:15 pm. The instructors are Professor Rhonda Magee, Professor
Judi Cohen and Professor Tim Iglesias.
The room will be reserved for Private (unguided) Meditation on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays from 8:00am – 9:00am and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00pm – 6:00pm.
All are welcome: beginners (even if you are just curious) and regular meditators.
Some meditation cushions will be available.
Sponsored by the Ad Hoc Committee on Contemplative Practices in Law.
Emphasis added to the name of the organization. I was visited by one of our recent bar takers a few months ago to ask if I'd seen the posters. I so wanted to blog about it, but words escaped me.
(To say the title properly, think of Seinfeld and "Those aren't buoys!")

It was unwise for the school to choose early March as the appropriate time to begin restricting access to the TV Room. If those granolafaces think they're going to find some peace of mind in there during the NCAA tournament, someone's gonna get thrown out of a window.

Considering the high incidence of stress and anxiety related disorders among law students and lawyers, this is a great idea. I wish my school offered it. I have been meditating for about a year, and it has really improved my focus and concentration. I highly recommend it!
As for the NCAA tourney: the only action takes place in the last quarter of play anyway. ;-)
