As judicial officers they regularly engage with vulnerable litigants. Many of the people who come to courts are stressed about the injustice caused to them, he said. “The responsibility judges carry is immense, necessitating a calm approach. Maintaining work-life balance is integral to fulfilling these duties effectively,” he told judicial officers.
