Lawyers aren't happy: a new look at lawyer wellbeing, workplace experiences, and professional ethics, in conversation with Professor Julian Webb

Melbourne Law School and host Jon Faine bring you the last episode of season one of Justice: a weekly podcast about the law behind the news.

Half of lawyers surveyed say they endure a poor workplace culture, and their discontent fuels expensive attrition rates. One in ten lawyers plan to leave the profession in the next 12months, one in three want to leave their employer in the next 12 months, and a third say they feel depressed or anxious. What is going wrong inside the profession that holds the rest of us to account? Professor Julian Webb of Melbourne Law School explains the new survey behind these findings.
