I'm overwhelmed by the response, and appreciate the input. However, I need to re-state my initial question:

"As a Law student, do you find your coursework, and the corresponding quest for good grades, hindering your ability to enjoy life beyond school?"

First, I know Law is an intensive but satisfying course. I do expect a lot of hardwork, and also understand that more time spent on (effective) studying will correlate with better results.

My query isn't about whether Law is difficult. I just want to learn if the workload is heavy enough that it consumes most of your time? I want to hear from ex/current Law students how you manage this choice of study with your other pursuits.
