"We want this to be a human system."

In this episode of Real Ambition, Iolanthe is joined by Dr. Carly Schrever, lawyer, psychologist and Director of Human Ethos to discuss her pioneering work on judicial wellbeing, the unique stressors faced by judges and the importance of mental health support in the legal profession. Dr. Schrever highlights the need for empirical research to understand judicial stress and the impact of this stress on public trust in the legal system. The conversation delves into the cultural stigma surrounding mental health in the judiciary and offers practical takeaways for other high-demand professions.

Note: Earlier this year, the General Assembly of Nation States sitting in New York voted almost unanimously to declare 25 July as the International Day for Judicial Wellbeing – signalling a level of global recognition and acknowledgement about the importance of judicial wellbeing that several years ago was unthinkable.
