1 CLE/1 Ethics

After months of longing for the day we can have dinner with friends, hug our parents, attend an in-person CLE, and even meet with clients, we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As with any other long-anticipated transition, this may bring up mixed emotions and more questions than answers. Do I shake hands with clients, opposing counsel, judges? What do I do if my client is more comfortable with meeting in person than I am, or vice versa? How long do we keep doing zoom or hybrid meetings? The pandemic is coming to an end…why do I still feel so exhausted instead of excited? In this session we will discuss some of the physical and mental challenges we all face as we re-emerge from pandemic life and how we can be intentional about what we are returning to and how we navigate that return, both personally and professionally. We will look at how the pandemic has impacted the practice of law and how we can re-emerge in a way that supports our own well-being, our clients’ well-being, and enhances our professional conduct. Finally, we will discuss how mindfulness practices can support our well-being and professional competence, as well as resources available through JLAP.
