In the legal profession, the pursuit of justice often comes at a cost - a toll on the mental health and well-being of lawyers. Burnout, depression, and elevated rates of anxiety are critical issues affecting the legal community. This book explains why this is happening and what lawyers can do to manage the stress and anxiety which is endemic in the legal profession.

It is imperative for lawyers to understand that the mental and emotional health issues they face are not the result of weakness or failure. It is the result of poor training. This book provides the training they need to shift their perspective of the challenges of practicing law. While Covid was a catalyst for stress, anxiety, and burnout, it also has highlighted the need for change. This book provides that change.

Since the 2012 LASPO cuts, legal aid provision in England and Wales has faced severe challenges, threatening both client access to justice and traditional practices.

This book offers an in-depth ethnographic study of how these cuts have transformed the professional identity of legal aid lawyers amid shrinking resources. By documenting the first-hand experiences of those on the front line, it reveals how these professionals navigate the precarious landscape while maintaining their commitment to justice.

This is a unique and insightful look into the evolving role of legal aid lawyers in a diminishing industry across both civil and criminal remits.
