@openuniversity.bsky.social thank you for this new addition to your OpenLearn.
Lawyers, law academics, law students, anyone working in law 🌏…

Interviewed recently for this and proposed a somewhat radical (not radical) idea of applying the same curiosity, courage, and creativity we see in the #LegalTech space to advance #LawyerWellbeing. Same energy, people-focused goal. Innovation is not just about tech.

Coming from practice to academia, I have this 🐝 in my bonnet. In practice we harp on about learning lessons from what went well AND what didn’t go well. Yet in academia, with our goals to inform practice, we have a system that’s designed to ignore those lessons. There are so many problems with this.

Very insightful new paper here on workplace bullying. Key findings from this meta-analysis - many interventions show limited success; lack of robust study designs; too much focus on individual-level strategies rather than addressing systemic org factors
