'A new year means… a new event! In 2025 the JLD are aiming to host an inaugural ‘Junior Lawyer Awards’ to celebrate some of the fantastic and vital work which juniors contribute towards the legal profession in England and Wales. In order for this event to be a success we need your help!

The 3rd Monday of January is dubbed “Blue Monday” and is said to be the most depressing day of the year. If you or a colleague need support, LawCare offer a free confidential helpline (0800 279 6888) and variety of resources on their site: www.lawcare.org.uk #mentalhealth #wellbeing #BlueMonday

Calling all local JLD Representatives – we want to hear from you! The assistance and opportunities local JLDs provide is invaluable. We want to know how we can support you better. Please tag us in your posts and events so we can share far and wide!
