CULSCAST: The CULS Podcast

Welcome to CULSCAST 🎙️the new Podcast from the Cambridge University Law Society, one of the world’s oldest and largest student-run societies, founded in 1901.

Our Publicity team 📢 is pleased to be debuting this new initiative, which aims to bring the Cambridge law community closer together.

Our new ‘CULSCAST Conversations’ series and ‘CULS Speakers Select’ series provide exclusive discussion about law and legal careers for our members. ‘CULSCAST Conversations’ is our interview-style forum hosted by the CULS Publicity Team; ‘CULS Speakers Select’ has been made in collaboration with the CULS Speakers Department to make the most recent CULS talks by eminent speakers, leaders in their respective fields about issues crucial to the modern legal world, readily accessible to our membership.

In the past, CULS have had the pleasure of hearing from such distinguished speakers as Justice of the Supreme Court, The Right Hon Lord Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony; Master of the Rolls, Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury; and former President of the International Court of Justice, Dame Rosalyn Higgins. Therefore, we have also made our archived collection of 2012-2023 CULS lectures and debates easily available through CULSCAST.

Mental Health and the Law - Richard Martin: CULS Lecture Mar 03, 2020

Show notes

Richard Martin spoke about "Mental Health and the Law" on Monday 2 March 2020 at the Faculty of Law, as a guest on the regular Cambridge University Law Society (CULS) speaker programme.

As many Law students apply and compete for vacation schemes and training contracts, concerns surrounding work-life balance and mental wellbeing in the City are ever pertinent.

Richard Martin studied law at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge before specialising in employment law. He was a partner at Gouldens/Jones Day and then at Speechly Bircham where he sat on the management committee. In 2011, Richard suffered a severe mental illness that left him hospitalised and in lengthy recovery. He is now a leading campaigner and advocate around mental health, within the legal profession and more broadly, in the UK and internationally. He provides extensive training, co-chairs the Lord Mayor’s This is Me campaign and runs the Mindful Business Charter. In 2018 he published a memoir of his illness and recovery - This too will pass - Anxiety in a Professional World.

His talk aims at providing practical strategies, based on his own experience in the legal world, so that students can know the right questions to ask of potential employers and ourselves to stay healthy.
