Practice makes perfect
(which is both good and bad)
Are litigation lawyers especially more susceptible to addiction and mental health
issues than others in the profession? While not enough is known to answer that
question, it is clear that litigation lawyers are looking for customized assistance. e
Criminal Lawyers Association, for example, is offering a relevant CLE program on
February 23rd: https://members.criminallawyers.ca/event-3154822. Meanwhile,
the Bar Council in the UK has set up a Well Being at the Bar program for
barristers, and their staff and pupils in chambers, https://www.wellbeingatthebar.
org.uk/: e Council found that "59% of barristers demonstrate unhealthy levels
of perfectionism." Does this lie at the heart of the problem for litigation lawyers?
Litigation lawyers are unlikely to become "roughly right" kind of characters
anytime soon, but there are increasingly resources out there to help them deal with
the personal consequences of serving clients so devotedly.

EDITORIAL
LEXPERT MAGAZINE 2019: We plan on bringing twelve months of content
to our subscribers this year; an increase over 2018 in which we had seven issues.
Eight of the issues, like this one, will be online and digital only; four will also be in
print – typically celebrating our Awards. And we're introducing a new Litigation
Wire too: a monthly e-newsletter set to include news and opinions about litigation,
arbitration, mediation, and even litigation prevention. We hope to hear from you
about these new developments.
