Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between stress, depression, anxiety symptoms and resilience scores in 90 law students. Results indicate that self-perceived resilience significantly predicts fewer depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms. Resilience skills can be taught and aid in prevention efforts with law students.
