Many attorneys—whether solo or at a small to mid-sized firm—represent businesses that are owned by members of the same family. Many of these clients focus on the day-to-day operations of the organization without giving much consideration to the long-term consequences if someone were to die, become disabled, or retire, or a host of other unexpected events occurs. This program will focus on the key role that proper planning plays to ensure that both the business and the family members individually can continue functioning after facing such an event.

To be a good lawyer, one has to be a healthy lawyer. Recent research has disclosed that too many lawyers and law students experience chronic stress and high rates of depression and substance use. Our profession is at a crossroads. To maintain public confidence in the profession, to meet the need for innovation in how we deliver legal services, to increase access to justice, we have to act now. Change will require a wide-eyed and candid assessment by attorneys of their state of being, accompanied by courageous commitment to re-envisioning what it means to live a healthy life as a lawyer.
