CLE - Trauma-Informed Yoga for the Ethical Lawyer

Practicing law can be intense, stressful, but also rewarding. Dealing with difficult or unreasonable clients, long hours of preparation, and the personal sense of loss when a lawyer loses in court can contribute to a crucible of trauma.

A lawyer’s personal experience of trauma may rise to the forefront as they are vicariously exposed to the distress and upheaval of clients’ lives. Lawyers need coping mechanisms.

Trauma is understood as a confounding emotional response to a terrible event that persists long after the event. What often is not understood is that trauma is sufficiently gripping to create a legacy through generations.

This virtual CLE addresses relevant Rules of Professional Conduct, case law, and underlying reasons that make lawyers prone to substance abuse, addictions, and subsequent misconduct.

Whether trauma stems from a personal circumstance or is practice-related, these simple yoga practices and insightful content can help. Plus, you will also receive a toolkit; suggestions for holistic coping skills that are pleasurable and even fun; including an explanation of not just the practice of yoga, but its mindset.
