Young’s List barrister Emily Latif will speak at an upcoming CPD session on Advocacy under pressure: Responding to and processing judicial bullying, hosted by the Health and Wellbeing Committee.
This session will explore how barristers can respond in moments where judicial conduct becomes harsh, hostile or bullying—disrupting advocacy and affecting wellbeing. The panel will discuss how to navigate such moments in court, process the experience afterward, and support peers who have encountered similar conduct. Dr Sarah Fischer will provide insight into the psychological mechanisms at play during and after these incidents.
