Join us for our next insightful and empowering CLE this month:
Lawyers vs. the State of the Profession
CLE# 532868 (approved for one mental health credit)
October 21, 12:00-1:00 p.m.
(Chase Andersen and Nate Bjerke, presenting)
The legal profession’s high-pressure demands can take a toll on confidence, well-being, and professional satisfaction. This CLE will explore the stressors unique to legal practice—particularly litigation—and their impact on mental health, burnout, and substance use. Attendees will gain practical strategies for managing stress, building resiliency, and fostering healthier workplace cultures through civility, professionalism, and proactive self-care. Resources, including Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers and other supports, will also be highlighted.

Advance Notice of Upcoming CLEs & Events
We’ve had several requests from lawyers to provide email notifications of upcoming CLEs. So many, in fact, that we’ve developed a monthly email specifically for the purpose of letting people know what CLEs and events are planned, when they are scheduled, and registration information.
If you want to get on the mailing list, just provide the following information. You’ll receive an email from Vertical Response, the service we use, asking you to confirm your email address. You can cancel at any time by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link contained in each newsletter.
