As the CJS melts down some more...

The Western Circuit has funded this event on secondary trauma and resilience, led by Dr. Nina Burrowes. Members can attend free of charge so, if you've got time, get booking.

How many of us know this story too well? How many of us have crumbled, and felt ashamed when we have been expected to do the impossible? The irony of feeling alone with this is that we are surrounded by others similarly overwhelmed.

[Penelope Gibbs @PenelopeGibbs2]

How common is it for judges to be rude to defendants or advocates? Sadly, but perhaps not surprisingly, there's no research. So was judge who threatened to imprison a child if she cried just a bad apple, or a particularly bad example of a systemic problem? https://t.co/1mYX8zZtz9

@BarristerSecret @RebeccaHerber44 @TimSapwell @HMCTSgovuk 'Egress'! You lot are so funny; everybody knows Egress isn't a real thing...

@h_easterbrook @CEOofHMCTS I think it is perfectly acceptable to decline to spend your weekend attempting to use a substandard system to access material. @CEOofHMCTS has already acknowledged that they cannot ask us to work harder. You didn't break it, Tim, so you don't own it.

If I see a ‘fat’ person in the gym I know only 2 things about them:
They are brave - bc frankly who needs the judgement endemic in so many fitness ‘fans’ &
they are smart- bc they recognise exercise as part of their route to being more healthy. Support & encourage, don’t judge.

Lord Wilson, Supreme Court Judge: “the UK is dismantling [legal aid] indirectly by setting rates of remuneration for the lawyers at levels so uncommercial that, reluctantly, most of them feel unable to do that work.”

Did you know that @thebarcouncil's Wellbeing At The Bar initiative, portal and resources are funded through the BRF?

[CBA Wellbeing @WellbeingCBA]

Herein, an exchange which demonstrates why justice should not be subordinated to administration. Those responsible for the latter have no impetus to prioritise the former.

[BoredWithBigots @JamesPSVine]

Which again misses the point. "All court hearings started on time." Maybe they did, but lawyers for Pros and defence had less time to prepare cases. Clearly that is not a consideration for statistics driven civil servants

[DoughtyStPublic @DoughtyStPublic]

Thanks to @Dee_Masters @CloistersLaw for sharing this excellent piece by @SarahVAtDSC @DoughtyStCrime & @WellbeingCBA, on why barristers should not work round the clock - bad for them, bad for the system, & above all, bad for their clients.

@kirkkorner In fairness, 2 sides of A4 are frequently too large for their printer to cope with.

[Wellness for Law UK @Wellness4LawUK]

Positive collaborations from this super Nz initiative now launching in the U.K. good luck @EquallyWellUK @rcpsych look forward to updates

[CBA Wellbeing @WellbeingCBA]

@midgley_anna Don't get me wrong - I'm a huge fan, but when times are v dark it can be picked up as just another weapon in the arsenal of self-punishment.

[CBA Wellbeing @WellbeingCBA]

When it comes to exercise and mental health, one size does not fit all @thepooluk #thepool https://t.co/C6PTtEN3Tc

[Anna @Midglet82]

I love Boston Tea Party - seriously forward thinking approach to single use coffee cups: there are none. You can just rent a reusable. Support them everyone! Amazing cake too @BTPcafes #plasticfree

[CBA Wellbeing @WellbeingCBA]

@3seawarrior47 Tremendous news - I hope you both have some time to spend together. Here at Wellbeing Towers we are rooting for you.
