Description

This CLE explores the connection between attorney wellness and professional responsibility, highlighting how stress management, balance, and sustainable practice habits are essential for both personal health and excellence in client service. Participants will learn practical strategies to reduce burnout, strengthen decision-making, and build healthier professional routines. The program emphasizes how wellness directly impacts an attorney’s ability to meet their ethical obligations to clients, colleagues, and the profession, and how supportive systems within firms can reduce risks, enhance communication, and foster long-term success.

Learning Objectives:

1.    Recognize how well-being affects professional performance, including the ability to provide competent, reliable, and high-quality service.

2.    Identify the warning signs of impairment—such as stress, fatigue, or substance use—that can compromise judgment and create ethical risks.

3.    Apply practical wellness strategies such as mindfulness, time management, and peer support that strengthen focus, resilience, and client service.

4.    Evaluate practice management systems (records, communication, and technology use) to reduce errors and avoid malpractice exposure.

5.    Understand professional duties related to leadership and accountability, including creating a culture of wellness, addressing misconduct, and supporting colleagues.
