Description:
In the last 20 years, our profession has devoted a great deal of attention to the mental health of attorneys.
This two-part presentation (which can be watched in any order) goes beyond outmoded fear-based discussions of statistics and answers real questions about how we can help ourselves and others. The ethics focus of this presentation is an attorney’s duties with respect to other attorneys. What are our obligations with respect to subordinates, colleagues, supervisors and even opposing lawyers who may have mental impairments? What is the role of the judiciary? These questions will be presented in the context of our profession’s changing approach to attorney mental impairment over time. ABA rules discussed: 1.1, 1.6, 1.14, 5.1, 5.2, 8.3; Model Code of Judicial Conduct 2.14.
Eric C. Lang is a trial lawyer based in Atlanta, Georgia, though his practice is national in scope. Eric began practicing in 1990, becoming a partner in a “big firm,” and then ultimately going out on his own. His practice focusses, for the most part, on business disputes. As a result of events that he discusses during this presentation, he has in the last decade become one of the leading writers and speakers on attorney mental illness, both as an ethics issue and a health issue. Detailed information about Eric can be found at www.langlegal.com.
