A survey by the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism found nearly a quarter of lawyers in that state were victims of workplace bullying within the past year, according to Reuters. Of the more than 6,000 Illinois lawyers surveyed, 24% said they had recently experienced bullying on the job, with the rate higher among women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and younger lawyers, the survey reports. The report recommends that legal workplaces develop and enforce anti-bullying policies, that law schools offer anti-bullying training, and that judges enforce anti-bullying policies in their courtrooms.
