University can be a psychologically distressing place for students. Empirical studies in Australia and the USA highlight that a large number of law students suffer from psychological distress, when compared to students from other disciplines and members of the general population. This book explores the significant role that legal education can play in the promotion of mental health and well-being in law students, and consequently in the profession.

The volume considers the ways in which the problems of psychological distress amongst law students are connected to the way law and legal culture are taught, and articulates curricula and extra-curricula strategies for promoting wellbeing for law students. With contributions from legal academics, legal practitioners and psychologists, the authors discuss the possible causes of psychological distress in the legal community, and potential interventions that may increase psychological well-being.

This important book will be of interest to legal academics, law students, members of the legal profession, post-graduate researchers as well as non-law researchers interested in this area.
Industry Reviews

"Overall, this is an insightful and important edited collection that provides a marker on the long, uneven, challenging but crucial path towards acknowledging and improving well-being in law. Despite its Australian focus, the commonalities with other jurisdictions are clear, giving it global appeal and significance."

Dr Emma Jones, Lecturer in Law, The Open University, UK


'This authoritative volume demonstrates that legal educators in Australia are far ahead of their American peers in addressing perennial problems in legal education. It also provides lots of good concrete advice on how to promote a more student-centered learning environment within a law school - in Australia or anywhere else.'

Kennon M. Sheldon, University of Missouri, USA

'Drawing on an increasingly rich body of multi-disciplinary scholarship, this work delivers a critical quantum leap in thinking and theorising around the dual imperatives of promoting future practitioners' mental health and proactively addressing the potential for psychological distress. Arguing that we can no longer leave professional mental well-being to chance, this book asks and answers hard questions about our duty in the Academy to do no further harm. The contribution is timely, astute and strongly commended.'

Sally Kift, James Cook University, Australia
