This webinar is part of a series being created in reaction to the exceptional situation we are all experiencing with the development of COVID-19. CIAJ is encouraging communication and countering social isolation by bringing the legal community together. During a crisis, we should continue engaging with colleagues, pursuing learning activities and sharing useful tips, even if remotely.
All episodes of this series are offered for free when watched live. Videos are made available on-demand afterwards at the cost of $35 each. Remember that our webinars are always free for CIAJ Members, although registration is mandatory for all live webinars.
Overview of the second episode
Being a lawyer in this day and age can cause a unique set of stresses that are exacerbated by the changing landscape of COVID-19. How do we continue to live in the present when the future is uncertain? How can we protect our mental health in the face of ever-changing information? Join lawyer and mindfulness teacher Heather Cross to learn some mindfulness and meditation practices that can help you navigate this uncertain time.
