The image shows a promotional graphic for "Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025." The background features a gradient of pink, yellow, and blue colors. At the top, there's a handwritten-style text in burgundy that reads "Our Voice, Our Stories." In the center is a circular black and white photograph of a person in formal attire wearing a suit and tie. Below the photo is the name "Jack Boswell" in burgundy text. Under the name is a description: "Jack is a co-founder of Neurodiversity in Law and a barrister at Matrix Chambers. He practices in public law, human rights, criminal law, extradition, and immigration law." At the bottom right corner are two logos: a "Neurodiversity in Law" logo featuring an infinity symbol with scales of justice, and "NCW 2025" (Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025) with "Twenty Twenty Five" written beneath it. The overall design appears to be highlighting Jack Boswell as part of a campaign celebrating neurodiversity in the legal profession.

Excited to be chairing this. Panel: Helen Eaton, @ndinlaw.bsky.social's Alice de Coverley & Oliver May.

Bar Council research indicates chambers may struggle to apply RAs for neurodivergent pupils, so this is for those supporting them & pupils, but valuable to anyone interested in neurodivergence

National Stress Awareness day gives us a moment to reflect on the way we cope with the pressures of daily life.
Work related stress can be significant, especially in competitive professions such as law. Take a moment to reflect on how you handle stress and practice stress management strategies!
