I used a backpack throughout law school and use one currently for work. Carrying textbooks and a computer, among other things, in a messenger bag is no joke on your shoulders/neck/back. For law school, I definitely recommend a backpack. In my experience, it's what most everyone else will have anyway.
Law school is an academic challenge; most students agree the first year (“1L” year) is the most difficult. In part, this is because law school is taught using methods entirely different than the lecture method used in most college classrooms.
