World Mental Health Day is coming up on Thursday October 10th and I am pleased to be celebrating it in a big way. I have three, yes three, continuing legal education virtual presentations coming up next week. Two are state specific, but one is available in several jurisdictions and one is completely free. All are eligible for ethics continuing legal education credit.
Check out the details below.
Kentucky Bar Association
On Tuesday October 8th, Claire will present an ethics seminar for the Kentucky Bar Association “Learn and Earn” program. The session is at 12 PM EST and offered virtually. This means you can eat lunch, get CLE credit, and it is free.
If you can’t make it on Tuesday or practice outside of Kentucky, no worries. The session on Tuesday is the same one that Claire will be offering on LawLine. After Wednesday, it will be on demand. Scroll down or check out my Events page for more.
LawLine
On Wednesday, October 9th at 10 AM EST, Claire will offer the virtual CLE entitled The Truth About Compassion Fatigue, Managing Empathic Overwhelm. This will be available for CLE credit in multiple jurisdictions. You will have to purchase it through LawLine or use your firm subscription.
To learn more about compassion fatigue and empathic overwhelm, check out the blog post from earlier this year. In addition, if you are a LawLine user, go ahead and check out Claire’s other session entitled Real Confidence: Essential Mindfulness Tools for Law Practice and Life.
Pennsylvania Bar Institute
On October 10th, the official date for World Mental Health Day 2024, Claire will offer a virtual CLE for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute. This one is inspired by her book, How to Be a Badass Lawyer. It will be for continuing legal education ethics credit and will include an overview of the 4 practices offered in the book: (1) breath focus; (2) body scan; (3) joy; and (4) loving-kindness.
This session is for anyone interested in what makes mindfulness and compassion badass and why it matters to lawyers. In addition to briefly explaining the meditation practices, Claire will share why each of them works. Learn more and register for the live presentation here. If you can’t attend on October 10th at 10 AM EST, the CLE will be available to watch on-demand later.
Conclusion
It is an honor and a privilege to have something to offer the profession in honor of World Mental Health Day. Join in next week if you want to learn, meet me virtually and say hello, or if you just need some ethics credit.
