Mental Health in the Legal Profession - Sania Chaudhry

Julia welcomes Sania Chaudhry, an employment and human rights lawyer and winner of Alberta’s Top 30 under 30 award for professional excellence in 2022, to discuss mental health in the legal profession.

Sania is active with the Alberta Branch of the CBA, as well the Federation of Asian Canadian Lawyers, and the Canadian Muslim Lawyers Association. Julia talks to her about bouncing back from burn-out, going from litigation in private practice to a regulator and back again, learning to cope with microaggressions and stigma on multiple fronts, and starting a family, all before turning 30.

This conversation features an impressive density of tips, tricks, and hands-on advice for young legal professionals and their employers on sustainable lawyering.
