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.

'A Lamb to the Slaughter' is a gripping story of love and romance on the eve of war. The story twists and turns through the harrowing events that befall the couple. While it is ostensibly a work of fiction, it is based heavily on fact and the life of a real soldier from the Great War. It is not a read for the faint-hearted as it describes in stark detail the horrors of war and the societal changes it brought about in those desperate times that made every precious moment count.

The horizon had been misplaced. It was now simply a series of overlapping billboards. We wandered amongst this illusion burying small stashes of food in case winter started early. Remembering where everything ended made traffic manageable. A prospective u-turn emerged, directions occurred. - Defenders of the Cartesian Coordinate
