Description
Just how problematic is lawyer substance abuse? Studies purport that lawyers abuse substances at twice the rate of the general population and depressive episodes are twice as likely among female attorneys. Learning to spot symptoms early on of drug abuse and impairments will help the profession shift from a reactive to a proactive approach. The seminar concludes with a review of case law addressing rules of ethics affecting addictions and mental debilitation.
