Presentation
#UIANYC
Seminar presented by the UIA U.S. National Committee in collaboration with UIA Health Law Commission and UIA Animal Law Working Group
Join us for a series of informative and practical discussions involving panelists from across the profession and around the world to discuss actionable strategies for promoting health, well-being, and peak performance among lawyers in the legal profession, and in society.
Conversations about attorney health and well-being have tended to focus on the disproportionately high rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide among individual lawyers. Those remain critical issues that deserve our sustained attention. But there are other important components of attorney health and well-being. For example, vicarious trauma often afflicts members of our profession whose work involves issues such as violence and abuse. Or, to take another example, the field of positive psychology has identified well-being strategies that can enable all of us to come closer to achieving our full potential as lawyers, community and family members, and friends. And while actions by individual attorneys are important to foster health, legal employers and bar associations such as the UIA can and must help to advance the health and well-being of the profession and the communities in which we live and work.
Seminar participants will begin by learning and exchanging ideas about the broader meaning of attorney health and well-being—one that honestly acknowledges and addresses our profession’s most serious challenges while also recognizing the likelihood that improvements in mental and physical well-being will advance our performance on multiple levels. Then, we will embark on a journey of learning about specific methods for improving attorney health and well-being, starting from the perspective of the individual attorney and then moving to the level of legal employers, bar associations, and the role lawyers can play in advancing health and wellness in our local communities, countries, and globally. Judges, lawyers, and well-being experts from around the world will provide participants with fresh viewpoints on each of these issues.
We look forward to seeing you in New York in March 2023!
