  Abstract
  Everyone experiences stressful situations, though people react to them in different ways. The concept of stress has been identified as being a major protagonist of ill health and poor senses of wellbeing amongst all age groups. Several stress factors have been determined to affect both Judges and advocates. However, relevant literature does not adequately explore the effect of demographic variables on the stress factors. This study aimed to examine the differences between demographic characteristics and occupational stress. Data was collected through questionnaires by using 285 samples from all the twenty-five districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa per population size to include respondents from all over the province. A simple random sampling was used to determine the participants in the study. Seven (Age, Gender, Designation, Experience, Qualification, Residence, and Marital status) demographic attributes of the judges and advocates were taken from the literature to identify any mean differences between different groups of the respondents on demographic diversities. Data was analysed through t-test and One-way ANOVA. Results revealed that the questions regarding demographic relations were significantly contributed to revealing that opinion has changed due to six of seven variables.
