2024 Law Day Luncheon

The Voices of Democracy Law Day theme encourages Americans to participate in the 2024 elections by deepening their understanding of the electoral process; discussing issues in honest and civil ways; turning out to vote; and, finally, helping to move the country forward after free and fair elections. In this way, Americans ensure that our government remains responsive to the wishes of the people. We invite all Americans to join us on May 1, 2024, to celebrate Law Day by lifting their voices to strengthen our democracy.

DCBA Brown Bag CLE: Preventing Burnout (ETHICS)

Preventing Burnout with Danielle Hall from KALAP

Lawyer burnout is a serious problem. Overwhelming caseloads, limited resources, bad work habits, and unhealthy workplace culture can lead to an increased risk of burnout within the profession. Some of us have become so accustomed to being stressed and burned out, however, that we might not even realize how much we're suffering. Our productivity levels can suffer, and chronic stress can even make it difficult to competently represent clients. During this session, we will discuss the difference between stress and burnout, the warning signs of burnout, and how to implement healthy coping strategies, boundaries, and balance to prevent burnout.
