Abstract

January is a strain for most people. It’s dark and the festive lights don’t disguise this anymore. You’re back at work and the next holiday may be some way off. You’ve just had to spend a large amount of time with your family. This has consequences.

Lawyers have a worse than normal return to work after the Christmas break: they go back to stacks of divorce papers.
