The Elusiveness of Well-Being in the Legal Profession 

In this panel discussion, Stephanie Villinski, Deputy Director of the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism, speaks with Bree Buchanan and Patrick Krill, two global leaders in the study of health and well-being of the legal profession.
Buchanan and Krill share data from their research on attorney mental health and substance abuse and discuss its implications for lawyers, clients, and public trust in the legal profession.
The panelists also provide recommendations on realistic practices that all lawyers-from BigLaw to solos-can implement to support their health and well-being and the effective delivery of legal services.
