Remote Only Event
In serving clients, the profession, and the system of
justice, lawyers bring intellect, passion, and skill, carry significant
workloads, and work long hours in close relationship with others solving
difficult problems. Lawyers seek not only justice and successful
resolution for clients and others, but also fairness, meaning, and intrinsic and
external rewards for themselves. These aspects of a lawyers’ work including bias
can cause chronic stress, resulting in burnout, poor physical health, or other
health challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, and
mental illness. Effectively managing workplace stress is critical to
lawyer health, competence, and ethical responsibility. The stigma attached
to burnout and other other physical or mental health concerns as well as
implicit and explicit bias can fuel burnout and make it difficult for lawyers to
get help. This program explores what burnout is, how our work as legal
professionals and bias contributes
to burnout, and how to head off burnout, break
the stigma, and get help to regain our spark and enjoy our
lives.
