Although many say that third-year law students experience a slump in participation and motivation, a recent study suggests the burden of inspiration should fall to the law schools themselves.
The Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research has released a report on its second-annual Law School Survey of Student Engagement; in it, researchers offer hope and advice to law schools struggling to give third-year students a productive finale to their educational experiences.

Tax Benefits on Education Expenses![](<? echo $imagepath ?>blanker.gif)
When you are paying for law school, it is sometimes difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Law school can be insanely expensive. However, did you know that some of your higher education expenses may help you reduce your federal income tax? The Internal Revenue Service allows tax savings for individuals and families who pay higher education costs. The benefits vary depending on your eligibility, but both deductions, which reduce the amount of income subject to tax before the tax is calculated, and tax credits, which reduce the amount of income tax dollar-for-dollar after the tax is calculated, are offered by the IRS.
