In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos. I’d like to finally form a bridge between lawyer disciple and lawyer wellness and focus on prevention. When we think of lawyer discipline, we automatically think of outrageous behavior like stealing money. Those are extreme. The common cases are too stressed out and forgetting deadlines or death of a loved one and not having time to call clients back. Cont’d

We need to create practical solutions to solve low-level mental health problems that lead to discipline. I think of these things as a “common cold” because no one is immune to the trials and tribulations of life.

My questions are
1. Do you think there’s an interest there?
2. How should it be implemented? I was thinking about monthly programs with hypos and group discussions but I’m not married to it if folks think there’s a better way
3. What would make a law student or lawyer interested?
4. How can it be engaging?

This seems like a great idea to me. Not sure how it would be implemented but I think the effects could be far-reaching if it works. Monthly programs sound fine as long as they're at an accessible time for people.

What time works best? During the day so people can get away from work or in the evening so people ca. have privacy?

I think it's worth exploring with more and more lawyers admitting to burnout and looking for more work life balance, focusing more on wellness.

I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.
