In this collection of personal essays, more than 15 lawyers write candidly about the realities of balancing professional ambition with the demands of caregiving, challenging long-standing assumptions about what commitment to the law is supposed to look like.

What does it mean to build a legal career while also caring for children, parents, partners, siblings, friends, and oneself? In A Labour of Love: Caregiving, Resilience and the Practice of Law, more than 15 lawyers write candidly about the realities of balancing professional ambition with the demands of caregiving, challenging long-standing assumptions about what commitment to the law is supposed to look like.

Edited by Neha Chugh and Anne-Marie McElroy, this collection of personal essays span a wide range of experiences, including infertility, postpartum depression, disability, adoptive parenting, fatherhood, co-parenting, eldercare, grief, and end-of-life care. Together, they offer an unvarnished account of how caregiving shapes legal practice, career paths, and ideas of success within the profession.

Clear-eyed and deeply relevant, A Labour of Love: Caregiving, Resilience and the Practice of Law gives voice to experiences that have too often remained private and makes the case for a legal culture that better reflects the lives of the people within it.
