The death by suicide of a high-powered litigator in the U.S. this past weekend has highlighted the stressors lawyers may face as work picks back up and the world emerges from the depths of the pandemic.
Slade McLaughlin, a noted mainstay in the Philadelphia trial bar, who headed high-profile sex abuse litigations against the Catholic Church and Penn State, died April 2 from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, his partner Paul Lauricella of McLaughlin & Lauricella said.
