Substance and alcohol abuse can have costly consequences - know your ethical responsibilities to protect your practice.
This program provides vital education on the intersection of substance use disorders, addiction, and mental health issues within the legal profession. By defining key terms and reviewing current statistics--including findings from the Krill Study--attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the scope and contributing factors behind these challenges, including how they vary across demographics such as gender, age, practice area, and income. The course will examine the serious implications these disorders can have on a lawyer's professional conduct, including ethical violations, disciplinary actions, criminal consequences, and loss of reputation. Participants will also learn about available treatment options and alternatives to discipline, such as diversion programs, Lawyers Assistance Programs, and emerging treatment trends. Finally, the program offers practical strategies for recognizing signs of impairment in oneself or colleagues, along with guidance on how to responsibly respond, protect clients, and support firm integrity. This knowledge is essential for fostering a healthier, more sustainable legal community.
