Here at the ACBA, we know first-hand that the legal profession can be draining, and that work/life balance is crucial for a successful sustained career. Our new Wellness Section focuses on bringing you events and resources that bring a holistic approach to our lives as lawyers.

Membership in the Section is free to all ACBA members! Look for our Wellness Wednesday posts on the ACBA Facebook page, check our webpage for the latest articles and resources, and upcoming events. If you are interested in getting involved, contact hadassah@acbanet.org.
