For Law Exams, You Need Sitzfleisch

Amy Burchfield, Access & Faculty Services Librarian amy.burchfield@law.csuohio.edu | December 14, 2007 - 15:34

I love it when I learn a new word. And today I learned a fantastic one while flipping through the pages of Law Library Journal.

Sitzfleisch. It's German, some sources say Yiddish (literally "flesh for sitting") and means the ability sit patiently for long periods.

Sitzfleisch seems like something that comes in handy around exam time. As in, "She has extraordinary Sitzfleisch - after taking a three hour contracts exam, she went home to polish her torts outline."

With less than a week of exams to go, I hope your Sitzfleisch is hanging in there.
