Law Schools and Wellness

The ABA National Taskforce on Lawyer Wellbeing noted that law schools have a critical role to play in promoting attorney wellbeing. Recently, the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar has proposed a new standard for law school accreditation that recognizes the importance of supporting law students in finding healthy balance and resources for support while they pursue their education. A new addition to standard 508 would require law schools to provide all students information on law student well-being resources. The proposal is a small but important step in the right direction of helping the newest members of the profession begin their career on the right foot.
