Lawyers as Partners: Personally not Professionally (2/20/25)

Join the CBA Career Advancement Program and Well-being and Mindfulness Committee for a co-sponsored program, "Lawyers as Partners: Personally, not Professionally."

Studies have shown that lawyers rank high on the loneliness scale. So, on February 20, 2025, as we reflect on how Valentine’s Day was, we’ll hear from lawyer couples, a lawyer matchmaker, and a lawyer wellness advocate to address:
 
- Pros and pitfalls of our legal training on our personal relationships, 
- The wisdom or woes of lawyers pairing with other lawyers, and 
- Work/life priorities and proclivities to enhance overall wellness.
