Long before the National Study on Wellness in Law report and the follow-up Phase II report were published, many legal professionals knew that practicing law can have an adverse effect on your well-being.
A built-in grind mentality, the competitive nature of the practice, and the demands of the billable hour, among other factors, has prompted new lawyers and long-standing lawyers alike to consider leaving the profession altogether.
How do we begin to fix these issues? What practical steps should lawyers and the legal professions be taking to provide a sustainable, healthy working environment?
The CBA has gathered a panel of authors and editors from the recently published The Right Not to Remain Silent: The Truth About Mental Health in the Legal Profession for a three-part series to address the three reoccurring themes highlighted in the Phase II study; Work-Life Balance, Working Conditions & Cognitive Demands, and Coping Strategies and Lifestyle.
