Abstract

Recent studies have shown that the culture of the law school may contribute to high rates of psychological distress and depression among law students. Transition pedagogies also recognise the diversity of first-year university students' experiences and demand an integrated approach to student pastoral care to assist students to navigate their degrees, including through promoting student social connectedness.
