Recent studies have confirmed that the overwhelming stress that is commonplace in our legal profession disproportionately results in judges and attorneys suffering higher level of depression, anxiety, addiction, and other serious issues at rates much higher than those seen in the general population. Work-Life Balance in a concept that involves proper prioritizing between work and lifestyle, that is difficult to achieve given the changes that have evolved in the workplace and individual factors.
Participants in this program will learn:
· Why judges and attorneys are a vulnerable population;
· The common mental health and substance abuse issues faced by our colleagues;
· Why work-life balance is hard to achieve including individual barriers; and
· Strategies to help achieve a more balanced work-life and higher life satisfaction

Many find it difficult to engage in discussions about racial and ethnic difference. At the same time, the demographics of our country and our workplaces have shifted dramatically. The younger generations that are coming into our workplaces are more diverse, in race, gender and country of origin, than any in American history. How can we encourage employees to recognize this diversity, and incorporate different perspectives into their daily work lives? By the end of the course, participants will be able to: Discuss civility and diversity in the legal workplace; implement strategies to challenge biases and stereotypes; and cultivate skills to defuse incivility.
Program coordinators: Hon. Alfred M. Swanson (ret.), Hoogendoorn & Talbot, River Forest; Hon. Patrice Ball-Reed, Cook County Circuit Court, Chicago
