YOUR ONE-STOP SHOP FOR ALL THINGS NEURODIVERSITY IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION
The ND Lawyer Project
““When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” - Alexander Den Heijer
The ND Lawyer Project (NDLP) is an award winning group of volunteers with the aim of creating community for neurodivergent lawyers and those aspiring to be. We run a range of projects to help support individuals in their careers. We believe in lived experience and it bleeds through into everything we do - neurodivergent voices deserve to be heard.
We run a podcast, a successful social media page, events and more. We have collaborated with leading firms, organisations and higher education providers.
Things to note
We are what we say on the tin - a project. This means that much of the work you will be involved with is ad-hoc and will differ depending upon who we are collaborating with or the audience we are trying to target. We thrive on new ideas and believe in allowing our team to spearhead projects they are passionate about. We are also slowly building back up after a long break (our team is very small!) and we want to drive awareness of the project. Therefore, it’s key that all members of our team are comfortable using their own initiative and communicating (in whatever ND way you feel comfortable) with a range of stakeholders.
Whilst we don’t ask for a specific time commitment, we want to ensure that work is spread equally across our team and the burden doesn’t fall unfairly on one individual. Therefore, we ask that you think about whether you have time to get involved. We all have busy schedules and we are very flexible but we want to grow our project to the next level and so some commitment will be required.
Some weeks may involve only 1 hour of work (or none if we don’t have any active projects) but leading up to a project deadline may involve a few hours work, so please keep this in mind.
