ABA-Sponsored Webinar: Free to ABA Members
Evidence supports that mindfulness can foster wellbeing and increase productivity. It is a mental state achieved by focusing awareness on the present moment, while calmly accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. Mindfulness is a skill and a state of being that lawyers and other legal professionals can develop and cultivate away from the meditation cushion. This program is presented by four lawyer mindfulness practitioners with a variety of legal work experience. Its aim is to demystify mindfulness practice, illustrate how it can be incorporated into one’s everyday legal work, and provide a direct mindfulness experience to better understand the potential benefits one can gain. Panelists will share their personal stories and testimonials about the value of mindfulness for their lawyer selves. There will be ample time for questions related to common scenarios and personal resistance to mindfulness practice. The program will leave you with the ability to begin or deepen a mindfulness practice, tools for integrating mindfulness into your legal practice and personal life, and serve as a reminder of the value that it can provide. Speakers: Phillis Morgan, Esq., Stewart Levine, Esq., Cheryl Connor, Esq., Timothy Lambert, Esq. CLE credit is available. More details are available on the ABA website.
