"You're studying law! Take a good look at the people sitting next to you! At the end of your studies, you probably won't see them again!" This is how law students often greet their students. Pressure and elbowing are inevitable. But is it really that tough to study law or legal science? What about the stress of studying and how can you maneuver through the thicket of exams, term papers and ultimately the two state exams? For law student Mara, a lot actually depends on just one term paper. She is in her seventh semester at Trier University and is not entirely unconcerned about the challenge that lies ahead. If she fails her term paper, she will have to repeat the corresponding exam and the semester. And the exam has been no small feat so far. She still has a week to hone her legal term paper and make her case watertight. The problem: it is almost never possible to judge when a case is watertight. The only thing that helps: hours of toiling at the desk and endlessly poring over books and legal texts. And as if that wasn't enough, there are also more law exams and the odd internship lined up. Only self-discipline, hard work, perseverance and ideally a thick skin can get you through such legal chaos. Can Mara handle the pressure and win the homework? And what motivates her to continue studying law? You'll find out in the current episode of alpha Uni! By the way: The University of Trier has been offering an integrated Bachelor's degree in Law since the winter semester of 2023/24.
