Wellbeing & Career in Law Panel

Are you burnt out from just hearing about 50+ hour work weeks? Is the constant pressure of applying clerkships getting to you? Do you love criminal law but the potential mental toll scares you?

This year, A Reasonable Standard is hosting Wellbeing & Career! This is THE ultimate panel for pursuing your law career fearlessly! 🧑‍⚖️

Our panel of strong and successful individuals are in various stages of their law careers, from clerks to lawyers to barristers! Not only that, we will be hearing about commercial, criminal, property and family law perspectives and insights into alternative careers.
