This week Julie talks to Megan Campbell about coping with Crohn’s disease in law school. Megan is a 2nd year student at Windsor Law, and one of NSRLP’s wonderful research assistants; she happens to also be dealing with an often difficult-to-manage autoimmune disease. Julie and Megan discuss the complications of navigating a demanding academic program and a chronic illness at the same time, and Megan has some fantastic advice to others in similar situations.
In other news: Ulster University in Northern Ireland has published a study that comes to similar conclusions as NSRLP’s research on self-represented litigants; University of Calgary Law Faculty has produced a blog post warning about the dangers of conflating self-represented and vexatious litigants; and NSRLP has recently released our massively updated directory of National and Provincial Resources for SRLs, listing helpful organizations and websites in every province and territory. (Megan Campbell herself spent many hours on this project – thanks Megan!)
