Ethics: Clients in Crisis
Current events have disrupted lawyers’ professional and personal lives.
Attorneys may feel like their lives seem out of control, yet they are not alone
in feeling the effects of the pandemic and social unrest. Clients are affected
too. Attorneys must manage their own emotions while simultaneously being
sensitive and responsive to their clients. For some clients, reactions may rise
to the level of impairment. Impairment comes in many forms, including substance
use, addiction, or other mental impairments.
What is the lawyer’s role, responsibility, and opportunity when working with a
potentially impaired client? What if the issue is not with a client but with a
colleague? This program will provide an ethical framework as well as
practical guidance and resources for lawyers facing these questions.

Elimination of Bias: Eating Disorders in the
Legal Profession
There is a common misconception that eating disorders are a lifestyle choice.
However, the mechanisms underlying eating disorders involve a complex interplay
of psychological, social, and environmental factors. Research indicates that, in
comparison to other professions, lawyers are at greater risk for experiencing
psychological distress, eating disorders, body image concerns, and problematic
eating habits.
Given the associations between heightened psychological distress, disordered
eating habits, and body image concerns, there are numerous practical strategies
that lawyers can incorporate into a daily routine to assist with identifying
maladaptive eating habits, seeking treatment, and managing physical and
psychological wellbeing..
