About this Event
This seminar will review and analyze the current mental health of the legal profession and compare and contrast the profession’s practices that cause distress and unhappiness among lawyers. During the discussion happiness will be defined using both ABA studies and the works of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas. Participants will also evaluate the remedial steps for the restoration of happiness in legal professionals as posed by the legal profession. The main emphasis of the seminar revolves around an analysis of the three issues that appear to trigger or signify unhappiness in the lawyerly life, namely greed, substance abuse and alcohol and suicidal thoughts and tendencies.
