It’s still finals time at law schools across the country, and students are struggling to make it through their exams before heading home for the holidays. It’s terrible, we know, but it’ll be over soon.

In the meantime, while they’re holed up in their study carrels in the library, many law students seem to be putting the “dying” in “studying.” At some law schools, you can hear soft whimpers as first-year students realize they’ll never quite understand the Rule Against Perpetuities. At other law schools, students are openly sobbing because they know they’re about to bomb their exams, and their future job prospects depend on their grades.

We received this tip anonymously, and all that we know is that it was allegedly posted by a library staff member in a Minnesota law school (e.g., Mitchell Hamline, U. St. Thomas, or U. Minnesota).

Thanks to this law school for recognizing that the struggle is real for students.

UPDATE (6:15 p.m.): According to tipsters, the school that’s behind this helpful sign is the University of Minnesota Law School, a top 20 school per U.S. News (and No. 28 per the ATL Top 50 rankings). Sources tell us that the administration is attempting “to address topics of concern in a humorous manner.” Mission: accomplished.

Here’s another helpful sign that’s been posted in Minnesota Law’s library:

Helpful? Totally. Insensitive? Maybe. Funny? DEFINITELY. Nice work, Minnesota Law!
