Description

The stresses associated with judicial service have not been widely discussed. There are various pressures: government interference, meeting performance expectations, appellate review and workload. There may be issues associated with illness, including mental illness. What happens when a judge is not coping? How should we ensure that judges do not end up leaving a career simply because problems were allowed to develop? What is best practice in ensuring judicial wellbeing?
