National Town Hall Meeting
Addressing Addiction,
Anxiety & Depression in the Legal Profession
Miami, Florida | February 28-March 1, 2019
No lawyer, law firm, or corporate in-house legal department is immune from mental health and well-being problems. Many courts, law firms, and corporations have recognized the seriousness of mental health and substance-abuse disorders and are devoting significant resources to monitoring and supporting lawyers’ well-being. Are these efforts working? What more should be done? How can we replicate successes and improve systems to support legal professionals?
This conference will bring together top medical experts, judges, and legal practitioners from around the country to discuss and highlight these life-threatening issues, to examine the recommendations of the American Bar Association’s National Task Force on Lawyer Well-Being, and to identify the most promising best practices for the bench and bar.
Presenters include:
Dr. George Koob
Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
Hilarie Bass
Past President, American Bar Association; Founder, Bass Institute on Diversity and Inclusion
Jeremy Fogel
Retired U.S. District Judge, Director of the Berkeley Judicial Institute
Gabrielle Anwar
