Wellness Committee Group

All members of the Wellness Committee are included in a committee-specific distribution list.

The Wellness Committee will look to engage the MDLA membership by promoting tools for the long term well-being of attorneys in a stressful defense profession. The Committee plans on Zoom CLEs that focus on the ongoing struggles of lawyers in a litigation practice, litigators taking care of kids and aging parents-while still successfully keeping up with their work, and working with Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers and focusing on all of the great resources available via this resource. We also want to keep lawyers personally connected.
