    So much of what you say resonates with me and others I know in the law. What I thought the law was, isn't there anymore. I left equity partnership after my MP got blind drunk and assaulted me. The toxicity was off the scale, people choosing silence rather than doing the right thing.

    Just keep talking, lift the lid and speak the truth. Live a better life 🙌🏻

"The SQE Is a Disaster" - Inside Law's Most Hated Exam - James Richardson
Q: What can we do now to improve the situation or, more correctly, what should the SRA be doing right now to improve the situation?
Richardson calls for better legal education and assessment, greater oversight of the SRA, a review of the Kaplan contract, and a system that listens to academics, firms, law schools and students.
"The SQE Is a Disaster" - Inside Law's Most Hated Exam - James Richardson
Q: Who made this? Why have they done it this way?

Pamely says her aim is to make law better by helping people speak honestly, be themselves and question harmful systems, while encouraging more compassionate leadership.
I Quit Being A Law Firm Partner (And Never Looked Back) - Helen Pamely
Q: And why do you think that was? What got you to that point?
Pamely says leaving law was the result of a gradual buildup, including repeated rejections, witnessing colleagues' mental health struggles and realizing that changing firms did not solve the underlying problems.
