| Sažetak: | Final report of a Teaching Fellowship at the Queensland University of Technology. This report discusses the issue of psychological distress in law students and the importance of dispute resolution as an intentional curriculum strategy to promote law student well-being. Through the Fellowship a new conceptual framework for legal education was developed and a national community of practice was created through the Wellness Network for Law. In this report, the curriculum approaches developed through the fellowship are explained in detail, including the model first year dispute resolution subject and the model dispute resolution motifs developed for inclusion in the core curriculum. The outcomes and achievements of the Fellowship in relation to raising awareness in, and persuading, the legal academy about the importance of law student psychological well-being are considered. The key challenges of the Fellowship are explained, followed by a discussion of the impact of the Fellowship and its evaluation. |
