Join the MSBA for a new livestream presentation of Bearing Witness to Our Clients’ Trauma: Doing Our Jobs AND Taking Care of Ourselves on Tuesday, September 21, 2021 at 12 p.m. 

One study concluded that 78% of lawyers suffer from compassion fatigue and another reported that 75% suffer from vicarious trauma. This program will use clips from the movie “Just Mercy”, and a moderated panel discussion to provide lawyers with an overview of the risks associated with practicing law. Insights on the role of self-care to mitigate risk factors, including the ethical considerations for prioritizing lawyer self-care, will be discussed by our panelists:

• Cathleen Price, renowned civil rights attorney with the Equal Justice Initiative and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University
• Sean O’Brien, Professor and clinical director at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law
• Michael Kahn, JD, LPC, ReelTime CLE Co-Founder,”Recovering Attorney”, Licensed Professional Counselor and Coach
• Chris Osborn, JD, ReelTime CLE Co-Founder, Mediator and trained Collaborative Lawyer at Osborne Conflict Resolution
