The LawSTRESS project is a controlled prospective-longitudinal study on psychological, endocrine, central nervous and genetic predictors of responses to long-lasting academic stress in a homogenous cohort.
Law students from Bavarian universities (total n = 451) have been studied over a 13-months period at six sampling points starting 12 months prior to the exam.

The stress group (SG) consisted of students experiencing a long-lasting and significant stress period, namely the preparation for the first state examination for German law students. Law students assigned to the control group (CG) were studied over an equally long period without particular and sustained stress exposure.
