The constant struggle to achieve balance and gain access to resources for help results in many lawyers feeling high levels of stress, fatigue and psychological distress.
This session explores how the practice of law can have a disproportionate impact on professionals with visible and invisible disabilities, 2SLGBTQSI+ lawyers, and IBPOC lawyers, and how to establish more inclusive workspaces.
