We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Could we start a forum or group for neurodiverse lawyers (a lot of people here seem to have ADHD/ autism/ anxiety/ depression)? Everyone is welcome, commercial lawyers, litigators, in house counsel, allies. Itβll be a place to exchange tips, find mentors and peers, and generally navigate neurodiversity and mental disability.
We could do one of these:
1. Make a subreddit
2. Have a WhatsApp group. The problem with this is that it is less anonymous, but the benefit is that it allows you to find peers and network better.
Other suggestions also welcome!
I'm okay with the subreddit option. Is there even a decent subreddit for Indian lawyers ? In my experience any online forum for Indian lawyers tends to get crowded with independent practitioners (nothing wrong with that - but I sense that a large majority of neurodiverse lawyers who require some help and online community, are those employed at Firms/Chambers/companies. Employment itself by its very nature brings a host of problems for the neurodiverse).
So subreddit it is?
