The document discusses mental health issues among law students and legal practitioners. It reports that over one third of Australian law students and lawyers surveyed showed signs of depression, and 40% of law student respondents warranted a mental health assessment. Law students exhibited the highest rates of psychological distress compared to students in medicine, psychology, and mechanical engineering. Factors contributing to law students' depression included a lack of autonomy, high competitiveness, and lack of social connections. The document proposes including student mental health in the law curriculum, encouraging engagement and support networks, and incorporating emotion and morality to help develop law students' resilience.
