Judicial Isolation: Before and During the Pandemic and How to Find Balance

Wellness Wednesday is a complimentary series for Judicial Division members

Description:
The social and professional isolation created during the COVID pandemic continues to have mental wellness implications for judges, lawyers and legal professionals across the country.

You’ll hear from judges and lawyers about how they coped with being physically separated from co-workers and having to learn new technology to do their jobs. They will also discuss issues related to handling the stress arising from the abrupt transition to virtual proceedings at the start of the pandemic to the resumption of in-person proceedings in the era of mask and vaccine mandates.
