Abstract

Law
This article proposes a humanising approach to students' experience of law school. The impetus for such an approach is research that suggests that law students' well-being is negatively impacted by the dominant analytical-adversarial paradigm of legal education. The humanising approach proposed is adapted from scholarship and practice in alternative (appropriate) dispute resolution (ADR) and centralises the concept of "relationships" as a humanising feature of an alternative paradigm for legal education.
