If you knew a lawyer at your firm had 500 cases on their docket and no assistance, would you have an ethical duty to report?

Sounds like trouble brewing to me but it would depend on a lot of factors. I don’t think the number of cases alone triggers a duty to report under Rule 8.3.

So much of a lawyer’s risk is connected to:

1. The size of their firm; and
2. The type of their practice.

55% of legal mal and ethics issues involve attorney mental health or substance abuse (or both).

Those numbers are definitely under reported.

Most firms talk about attorney wellness without much follow through.

Do your firms do anything to actually promote attorney mental health or support substance abuse problems?

I have a good belief to believe I, and others of my kind are being systemically discriminated against at work. There was a particular incident recently that affected me. I am the in house employment counsel for the company - and now feel like I am in a weird position. Can I file an EEO complaint against my client, or do they just get to do whatever they want to me? Obviously outside counsel would need to be hired, and a wall put up. Looking for info thanks.
