Even if the pandemic has ceded the spotlight to other concerns for the time being, its ripple effects are still deeply felt as the legal profession deals with the uncertainties of establishing yet another “new normal” in the midst of turbulent changes brought by new developments on the world stage. “We’re still in a time of great turmoil,” says Jarrett Green, a wellness consultant and lecturer at USC Gould School of Law, and the recent high-profile cases of Slade McLaughlin and Beatrice Bijoux only underline how susceptible attorneys are to extreme stress.

On May 10 at 1PM EST, The American Lawyer editor-in-chief Gina Passarella Cipriani, writer Patrick Smith, and Mike Kasdan, partner at Wiggin and Dana as well as founder of Lawyering While Human, will look for clarity in that turmoil when they discuss the results of ALM’s Mental Health and Substance Abuse Survey in our first-ever Twitter Space.
