- Published my first article on Psychology for Lawyers. On emotions and how to manage them. Something we don’t learn during our vocational training but so important to pretty much every aspect of our work.

- Law firms WilmerHale, Jenner & Block sue Trump administration over executive orders. "The firms' lawsuits both said Trump's orders violate their rights under the U.S. Constitution and are meant to coerce lawyers and law firms to stop representing clients opposed to the administration."
- More Substack stuff as I wander around over there. Wonderful to discover Brad Wendel is there, and for that discovery to lead me to find he is also here! @bradwendel.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/bradwend...
- A bit more detail about what I hope to achieve with this. Being new to blogging and Substack, it will take me a while to find my feet.

- Hey good people, I occasionally see posts about interesting content published on Substack and want to dive a bit deeper over there. Any suggestions on accounts I should subscribe to? Always keen to read more on anything to do with ethics, law, psychology, philosophy, books, learning in general

- Reposted by Lucinda SoonI’m quoted on the front page of the Observer today. They are looking back at the effects of the pandemic five years on. I say that it is primarily a story of inequalities.

- Common missteps are made when: “1. we don't go beyond describing the numbers; 2. we try to 'fix' women rather than fix systems; 3. we are overly optimistic about the progress we have made; and 4. we fail to recognise the intersectionality of the experiences that women face.”

- Ok people, I know I’ve shared this before but we haven’t had quite as many responses as we hoped. If you work in the UK legal sector, in a law firm or in-house, in any role, please consider taking part. If you can help us spread the word, that would be amazing ❤️ #LawCare #LawSky #Lawyers #Wellbeing

- Quick question/s #academicsky: if you post here and on LinkedIn, where are you seeing more engagement? Or do you mostly post on LI? I noticed more academics using LI for sharing updates a few years back, great for me as I missed academic twitter. But is LI still the go-to platform over Bluesky?

- A friend shared this with me. Have we ruined essay writing and why it is worth saving because it teaches us how to think. "by essay-writing, we look not just for answers or solutions but aim to develop thinking through writing... Writing is a valuable learning outcome in itself."

- A fleeting thought but would it not make sense if journal editorial boards had a mix of practitioners and scholars? I never see this. But particularly for applied fields, practitioners could offer valuable direction on eg current issues affecting practice or offer feedback on relevance to practice.

- And unfortunately it is not a common course in UK law schools.
- Wow these are some big questions… “Is the 21st Century the century of authoritarianism? Are we the people submitting without raising any questions to authority? Is individual freedom of thought and action being repressed? Is capitalism the driver of authoritarianism?”
