The Path to Lawyer Well-Being: Practical Recommendations for Positive Change, was published in 2017 with the goal to create a movement to improve well-being in the legal profession.  The Minnesota Supreme Court, joined by the Federal courts, the MSBA, FBA, and LCL issued a call to action and hosted two well-being conferences in 2019 and 2022 to encourage discussion and spur action. With the support and encouragement of this consortium and the continued involvement of Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers , the MSBA Well-Being Committee has committed to building on this momentum with informative, practical, and inspirational programs and initiatives. 

The next right thing: To move forward as a profession, we must go beyond talking. This program moves beyond talking to demonstrate how legal scholars are incorporating methods to realistically enhance well-being in the legal profession. All of us will benefit from what they and future lawyers are bringing to our profession.   

Human nature: Our innate tendency toward cooperation can be harnessed at all stages of our careers to incorporate proven concepts such as civility, mindfulness, mutual care, and respect into our professional endeavors.
