Panelists will share personal stories about confronting burnout, perfectionism, and other unique pressures of the legal profession. You’ll gain insight into shifting cultural attitudes, barriers to seeking support, and the strategies that helped them find balance and resilience. Learn how to recognize signs of distress, reduce stigma, and support a healthier legal career and community.
