Themed “Creating a Supportive and Mentally Resilient Society”, this year’s problem statements challenged participants to develop solutions to promote mental wellness in the workplace, as well as to better support persons with mental health conditions. Set out to tackle the high attrition rate among young lawyers, our team proposed a Microsoft Outlook plug-in that could leverage AI to provide a seamless and speedy two-way process for junior lawyers to solicit feedback and receive guidance from senior partners on draft documents, whilst reducing toil for the latter.
