Wellbeing Matters: Transitioning from Legal Learning to Practice
Hi there,
Are you interested in transforming your legal education into modern practice? At BARBRI, we acknowledge the importance of fostering wellbeing and inclusion within the thriving legal profession, and cultivating a culture that values people as much as their legal development.
The journey from student to professional can be an exciting yet challenging one that requires the right mindset, emotionally and mentally. It's important to champion initiatives that promote wellbeing to ensure the legal sector of today will be a competent and compassionate space for tomorrow.
Join us on Wednesday 23 April at 1pm for an insightful session with Elizabeth Rimmer, CEO of Lawcare, and Henry Nelson Case, Lawyer and Workplace Wellbeing Advocate, to learn more!
