In the Austin legal community, lawyer well-being isn’t a “generic problem” in the news. It’s an issue that’s hit attorneys personally, which is why new Austin Bar Association president D. Todd Smith is launching a well-being initiative during his 2019-2020 term.

To realize his vision, the Austin Bar is recruiting members for a new lawyer well-being committee that will develop the initiative and launch programs and events this fall, said Smith, founder and managing partner of Smith Law Group in Austin.
