This Conference reflected upon the challenges faced by the profession during the 2020-21 global pandemic. With a focus upon how we can respond and emerge to manage these challenges, the Forum presented speakers from Bar leadership, academia and expert clinicians. Students, pupils and practitioners engaged in legal practice at the Bar (and those that support them) were invited to attend and to engage with this interactive and innovative event.

For the third year, the Inn proudly sponsored the Wellness for Law Forum. This Wellness Forum reviewed the steps taken by other professionals, including the military, police, medical and CPS, to manage the risks to their colleagues, to respond to the challenges of their work and rehabilitate those who become affected.

The Forum provided guidance from leading experts, presentations and panel discussions with policy, information and actions to support the Bar, Clerks, the Judiciary, and anyone with an interest in wellbeing for the profession. The Forum also presented best practice for supporting colleagues with LGBTQ+ inclusivity and safeguarding practices.
