Free CLE Webinar for Lawyers – The Lawyer’s Path to Wellbeing Dec 11 1PM ET
About the presentation
Lawyer well-being influences ethics and professionalism, but the path to well-being can be hard to follow in these turbulent times. Lawyers must find and follow a path to well-being not only to meet the ethical duty of competence their profession requires, but just as importantly, to thrive in their personal lives. This program will provide a candid look at the current threats to lawyer well-being; how to work with neurobiology rather than against it; and provide practical tools and practices for improving lawyer well-being.
The ABA is making lawyer well-being a priority in 2025, updating and building on the landmark 2016 ABA-Hazelden Betty Ford study that forms the basis of this program. Patrick Krill (J.D., LL.M, M.A.) and his research partner Justin Anker (Ph.D.) from the University of Minnesota Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences are leading the new study. State bars across the country will partcipate by conducting anonymous random member surveys.
The practice of law has changed significantly over the last decade, with new developments from Covid to AI increasing the stress lawyers face every day. As we await the new ABA report, this program examines the findings of the 2017 ABA National Task Force on Lawyer Well-Being and offers practical ways to implement the recommendations of the Task Force in your professional practice. We will highlight key Rules of Professional Conduct and emphasize best practices for your personal and professional well-being.

Alta Pro applies directly for approval of its webinars in the following states: CO, GA, IA, IL, IN, KY, MI (Michigan Indigent Defense Commission credit), MN, NC, SC, OH, PA, TN, TX and WI. In almost all cases, given that our webinars are always approved in the above 14 CLE states, lawyers who are licensed in any other US state will also be able to receive credit for attending our webinars. Certain states, known as reciprocal states, will simply accept the approval from any of the above states, as if the program was approved in their state (i.e., AZ, CA, CT, FL, NJ, NY among others). Other states require that the lawyer submit an application for approval. While we do not apply in every state, our CLE coordinator will assist any attendee with the application process.
