When Good Enough Isn’t Good Enough - Perfectionism in the Legal Profession
(1.0 Hour Competence Issues Credit)
“Everyone tells me I’m doing a great job. My clients, my colleagues, my family. Why do I feel like I don’t measure up- that my work just isn’t that good?”
“If I ask for help, everyone will know the truth about me.”
“I’m ok. I can work this out for myself.”
Sound familiar? If so, you may be struggling with the perfectionism and self- doubt that has plagued members of the legal profession for years. When the pressure placed on lawyers externally to succeed is outweighed by the pressure lawyers place upon themselves, the impact on mental health can be devastating if left untreated.
There is a misconception among lawyers that only people who have “hit bottom” need or ask for help. The statistics say otherwise as recent surveys indicate that the overwhelming majority of legal practitioners believe they have suffered negative mental health consequences as a result of their chosen profession.
Recent studies have shown that there has been a dramatic increase in impairment due to alcoholism, addiction and mental health disorders among members of the legal profession. The statistics are compelling and clearly indicate that 1 out of 3 attorneys will likely have a need for substance use or mental health services at some point in their careers.

Why Civility Matters
(1.0 Hour Civility Credit)
This program will explore what civility is and why it is so important to the legal profession and the courts. We will examine the recent report and recommendations of the California Civility Task Force (“CCTF”), a joint project of the California Judges Association and the California Lawyers Association chaired by Justice Brian S. Curry, Presiding Justice of the Second District Court of Appeal, Division Four. We will delve into – in the words of the CCTF’s report – the link between incivility and bias where “young lawyers, women and those from historically underrepresented communities are disproportionately on the receiving end of intemperate remarks and abusive behavior.” This program will offer practical strategies for identifying, preventing and addressing incivility.
