PODCAST: Neurodiversity in the Legal Field
Studies have shown that neurodiversity — especially ADHD — is quite prevalent in the legal industry (see here for details on the recent ABA study), but few know how to create a work environment for attorneys and staff with ADHD to succeed or find support when needed.
