SUMMARY:Career Transitions: Reflection Before Action
DESCRIPTION:Career Transitions: Reflection Before Action \n\n\n\nDescription\n\nThis interactive workshop is designed specifically for lawyers and legal professionals who are contemplating a job or career transition and want the time\, structure\, and guidance to think it through thoughtfully before making their next move. Together\, we’ll move beyond surface-level questions like “What should I do next?” and dig into the more meaningful-and often overlooked-considerations that lead to better decisions and more sustainable career paths. During this workshop\, you will: o Reflect on where you are now and identify what’s truly driving your desire for change o Clarify the direction you think you want to go-and why o Explore your core values\, strengths\, interests\, sources of energy and stress\, and ideal clients/work environments o Define what success means to you (rather than what it’s “supposed” to look like) o Evaluate whether your potential next step truly aligns with who you are and what you want You will also learn practical tips for how to support yourself during periods of transition. This workshop is not about quick answers or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about creating dedicated space to think deeply\, ask better questions\, and leave with greater clarity and confidence in your next move. Please note that all participants will sign an agreement to maintain the confidentiality of all other participants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nMay 9\, 2026 09:00 AM -11:30 \nIn person registration\, please email: pdevoy@mnlcl.org \nZoom Registration

SUMMARY:Better Boundaries\, Better Lawyering\, CLE # 546555 (One ethics credit applied for)
DESCRIPTION:The legal profession is known for its stress-inducing environment: demanding hours\, high caseloads\, tight deadlines and its adversarial nature. Add in client expectations\, the culture of overwork and the personality of most lawyers\, and exhaustion and burnout can result. Where does this leave us in our ethical duties to our clients when exhaustion is part of our everyday? How do we prevent it from setting in at the first instance? This seminar will explore key factors contributing to stress\, anxiety\, and burnout\, focusing on the many ways in which weak boundaries and poor communication are key contributors. We will answer such questions as what is burnout\, how do weak boundaries contribute to burnout\, and what are our ethical obligations to our clients most often compromised on the way to burnout. Additionally\, lawyers will learn the importance of boundary setting in client relationships\, relationships with colleagues and co-counsel\, and in the sometimes stress-inducing relationship with opposing counsel. We will also discuss how to work with the court to set boundaries that will preserve our mental health\, without prejudicing our client’s position. The applicable ethical rules will be discussed and applied. Finally\, the presentation will provide strategies and guidance for attorneys and firms/offices to better equip themselves to handle professional and personal stressors and will provide information about pertinent resources\, including Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers \, EAPs and other supports available to assist attorneys and their staff with these complicated issues.

SUMMARY:Help for Colleagues in Crisis  CLE # 546556
DESCRIPTION:Mental health and addiction issues are a serious problem in the legal profession. Stigma about these conditions stands in the way of asking for or offering help. This program is designed for colleagues and managers who may observe changes in behavior that give rise to concerns. It discusses how to recognize and obtain help when you\, a work colleague\, or another professional colleague may have a substance use\, mental health\, or other issue that affects behavior\, conduct\, and performance. Topics include understanding the issues\, special considerations for remote work\, approaching the lawyer (including interventions)\, arranging assistance such as treatment\, and practice management issues during and following a reduced work schedule or leave of absence. Colleagues can save careers\, families\, and lives by taking action. This course is designed to educate attorneys to identify colleagues who may be suffering from chemical health or mental health related impairment. By educating attorneys about the misconceptions surrounding chemical health and mental health issues\, they will be better positioned to eliminate barriers to hiring\, retention\, professional development\, and full participation of attorneys disabled by chemical or mental health issues.
