LOG IN TO REGISTER

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. 

Note: This program is open to judicial officers only.
