Our Story
In Denmark, we have developed an online streaming platform for law students and lawyers. The platform provides a subscription-based access to over 300 videos on legal learning, personal talks, legal talks, company video portraits and more. Moreover, we educate and engage our target group through live-sessions, 1:1 coaching sessions, in-person conferences, seminars and networking events. How comes that a country which is supposed to have the happiest people in the world deals with these issues? That is one of the many questions we seek the answer to in our work.
My Law Story was founded in 2018 as a response to the low well-being among law students at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen. Well-being studies supported what we were told by students:
- 49 % experience physical stress symptoms in everyday life
- 74 % experience physical stress symptoms leading up to an exam or in relation to submission of assignments and projects
- 68 % feel great performance pressure
As a consequence of the stress and the mental health issues many students had withdrawn from social activities and some had considered dropping out. Later, our research revealed that lawyers suffer from severe well-being and work-life balance issues.
We wanted to change the status quo and founded My Law Story – a learning universe and a community where you learn, share your stories and grow fearlessly.
