Mindfulness Essentials for Professionalism

It's no secret that the practice of law often means long hours, high stress, and constant conflict. The adversarial nature of a lawyer's day-to-day can seep into our relationships, including our relationship with ourselves, and can lead to a number of behaviors that deteriorate our professionalism. In this program, lawyers will learn about using mindfulness as a tool to keep a competent, healthy state of mind that will make you a better lawyer. Mindfulness expert Judi Cohen will discuss both mindfulness as a concept and what it means for lawyers in particular. She will help viewers understand how the mind works and how to cultivate a laboratory of the mind, which will, in turn, help us skillfully and professionally respond to stressful or difficult situations in that occur in a day-to-day law practice, increase focus and efficiency, and make better choices.
