Abstract
This chapter will explore potential sources of duty for legal educators when confronted with evidence of psychological distress in law students. It will conclude that legal educators have obligations to act for a range of reasons, including that admission to the legal profession is partially contingent on their psychological wellbeing. It will review jurisdictional requirements for disclosures by law graduates regarding mental health when applying for admission. It will conclude that academics should collaborate to identify strategies which might facilitate their shared aspiration for change. It will propose that we reimagine classrooms and select optimal pedagogies which support student wellbeing.
