How do we make law fun in an age of change?
Most recently, studies have presented the rising levels of depression, anxiety, stress and other mental health issues among legal professionals. The outcomes of these studies are shocking, indicating that the mental health statistics in the legal industry are staggering. At the same time, developments within the legal industry, among which also technology-driven, are increasingly leading (aspiring) legal professionals to question and re-explore the way in which their work offers meaning and adds purpose to their life. All of this, while the outside world is demanding the legal profession to become more transparent, accessible, and fun.
In this episode of The Law of Tech Podcast, I discussed how we can make law (more) fun in an age of change with Elizabeth De Stadler, founding director at Novcon and director at the Rehabilitated Lawyer. This episode discusses how legal professionals can find their passion and drivers, and why it is necessary to shift our perspective as to what it means to be a legal professional in order to create a more sustainable legal profession as we head towards the future.
