Judicial work is meaningful and rewarding. It can also be complex, demanding and emotionally draining.
In this full-day event for recent appointees, you will explore the human dimension of judging – and how to take up the judicial role with optimism and confidence.
This is a cross-jurisdictional and collaborative event. You will participate in facilitated conversations with your judicial colleagues to:
- learn about the known pressure points in judicial work
- explore opportunities for growth and fulfilment
- walk away with a personal wellbeing plan to support you in your judicial career.
Twilight discussions
The full-day event is supported by optional facilitated discussions later in the year.
These twilight sessions follow an open and informal structure so you can raise topics of interest and share experiences on the human dimension of judging.
Your facilitators will support you with relevant theories from psychology.
This session is repeated on 27 October. To register for the October session please click here.
