Download or read book The Addicted Lawyer written by Brian Cuban and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brian Cuban was living a lie. With a famous last name and a successful career as a lawyer, Brian was able to hide his clinical depression and alcohol and cocaine addictions—for a while. Today, as an inspirational speaker in long-term recovery, Brian looks back on his journey with honesty, compassion, and even humor as he reflects both on what he has learned about himself and his career choice and how the legal profession enables addiction. His demons, which date to his childhood, controlled him through failed marriages and stays in a psychiatric facility, until they brought him to the brink of suicide. That was his wake-up call. This is his story. Brian also takes an in-depth look at why there is such a high percentage of problematic alcohol use and other mental health issues in the legal profession. What types of therapies work? Are 12-step programs the only answer? Brian also includes interviews with experts on the subject as well as others in the profession who are now in recovery. The Addicted Lawyer is both a serious study of addiction and a compelling story of redemption.

Download or read book Lawyering from the Inside Out written by Nathalie Martin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law is a varied, powerful, and highly rewarding profession. Studies show, however, that lawyers have higher rates of alcoholism, divorce, and even suicide than the general population. Stress creates these poor outcomes, including the stress of dealing with other people's problems all day, the stress of spending excessive amounts of time at work, and the stress of being disconnected to what is most meaningful in life. Through mindfulness and emotional intelligence training, lawyers can improve focus, get more work done in less time, improve their interpersonal skills, and seek and find work that will make their lives more meaningful. This book is designed to help law students and lawyers of all experience levels find a sustainable and meaningful life in the field of law. This book includes journaling and other interactive exercises that can help lawyers find peace, focus, meaning, and happiness over a lifetime of practicing law.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Lawyer Leadership written by Leah W. Teague and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-02 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fundamentals of Lawyer Leadership: A Skills Guide to Professional Identity Formation, we explore the aspects of leadership and professional identity formation that take root and begin to grow while students are in law school and throughout their lifelong journey as practicing attorneys and professionals. We like to describe professional identity and its formation as the process of becoming a complete lawyer; however, honing the skill sets of a complete lawyer takes time and study. Just as developing legal skills is a life-long endeavor, growing as a leader is a process that evolves over a lifetime. To become whole, healthy, skilled professionals, it is imperative that lawyers engage in a process of lifelong learning. That journey begins in law school, where professors help guide students not only in the formation of their professional identities, but also to develop as effective, thoughtful leaders. This process is vital, not merely as an ABA requirement, but to ensure the future of the profession. For students to develop as both professionals and leaders requires a personal, practical, and reflective approach to the issues. This ownership of continuous professional growth toward excellence, grounded in a service-oriented approach is a cornerstone of preparedness for leadership, and therefore, development as a lawyer. This textbook begins with professional identity formation and foundational leadership and what each means. In Part II, Leadership of Self: Growing into Leadership, the leadership journey requires looking inward to examine who you are, what type of lawyer you want to be, and how you will lead. In Part III, Leadership with Others: Effective Group Dynamics, the book covers topics such as building and nurturing relationships, developing emotional and cultural intelligence, becoming a valuable member of teams, civility, civil discourse, and creating inclusive environments. Finally, in Part IV, Leadership within Community: Service and Impact, the book examines the role of the lawyer in society, including crisis management, how to be prepared for moments of opportunity, and how you can use your skills to have influence and impact others. Contributing your energy to worthy causes about which you are passionate will bring purpose and satisfaction to your life. The authors are available to advise any law school faculty who plan to teach a leadership course and would be happy to discuss the lessons they’ve learned in teaching leadership. Their contact information will be provided upon request. Highlights of Second Edition: Incorporates more clearly the ABA’s requirements for professional identity formation (PIF) Discusses the intersection of that concept with leadership Provides a practical skills approach to becoming a professional Includes an overview of lawyers’ professional identity and formation as a first step to influence and impact through leadership Adds material on new topics, including: Civility and Civil Discourse Character Development o Addressing Fear, Failure, and Feedback Preparing for the future through innovation Design theory Technology The business of lawyering and marketing/branding Addresses the disruptions facing the profession (via changes such as artificial intelligence) and suggests a way forward Takes a fresh look at the issues facing those who would join the profession and gives meaningful, relevant guidance to prepare lawyers to be their best as they serve their clients and communities Professors and students will benefit from: A modular nature due to its multipartite organization, making the book uniquely adaptable for different settings, including: Leadership as a full course, incorporating a module into doctrinal courses, or providing leadership training in a professional development setting, and more A roadmap for teaching these concepts in an easy-to-understand manner that allows for flexibility and adaptability via its teaching framework A book and comprehensive resources written and designed for both new and experienced professors The emphasis of the themes of life-long professional development, lawyers’ ethical obligations, and service throughout
