Order in the Court: Tackling Bullying in the Legal Profession

An extensive study has shown that 1 in 4 lawyers report having experienced workplace bullying during a one-year period. Whether it is an intentional act with the aim of intimidating or controlling another person, or an unintentional bias displayed toward a person based on their individual characteristics, bullying can cause extreme stress. That stress, combined with the everyday stresses of the legal profession, can have a serious impact on an attorney’s mental health.

This presentation will cover the forms that bullying may take, how bullying has been reported in the legal profession, how issues of gender and race are perceived in the legal community as reported by peers, and what actions can be taken to alleviate workplace bias.

Duration of this webinar: 60 minutes

At this time, Justia only offers CLE courses officially accredited in certain states. Lawyers may generate a generic attendance certificate to self-submit credit in their own jurisdiction, but Justia does not guarantee that lawyers will receive their desired CLE credit through the self-submission or reciprocity process.
