Abstract
University students tend to report higher levels of psychological distress compared to general populations.1 Previous studies across a range of disciplines at Australian Universities have reviewed sources of stressors that contribute to students experiencing heightened levels of depression, anxiety, and stress at university.2 Studies focused specifically on law student populations in Australia have reported on first year experience, assessment and feedback design, role of competition, academic demands, and developing positive professional identities as influencing factors in students’ levels of psychological distress and overall wellbeing (or ill-being).
