DAY 1 - Starting today, Law.com is embarking on Minds Over Matters: A Yearlong Examination of Mental Health in the Legal Profession. This major editorial endeavor will focus sharply on stress, depression, addiction and other mental health issues affecting the legal profession. The project, through news stories, columns, online conversations, podcasts, videos and more, aims to shine a light on mental health issues that have so long stigmatized those in the legal industry and to help forge a path toward positive change. Our Minds Over Matters coverage on Law.com and affiliate ALM publications will address mental health challenges among lawyers, students, judges, legal educators and other industry professionals working in the private and public sector. Over the course of the next 12 months, we’ll provide news, analysis, data, expert advice, personal stories of triumph, a resource center, and views from our esteemed mental health advisory board and much more. We look forward to your input and feedback.
REDACTION ACTION - U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in D.C., who is presiding over the obstruction and witness-tampering case against Trump ally Roger Stone, has asked the DOJ to turnover today unredacted portions of the Mueller report that Stone’s lawyers claim will help his defense. As Raychel Lean reports, if the government does oblige, the report will be for the judge’s eyes only while she decides whether or not it’s needed for Stone’s case.
