Ethics in a High-Stress, High-Stakes Legal Work Environment

This program offered a very basic introduction to mindfulness and meditation, which can be helpful for all lawyers not familiar with these practices.

Great exercises to achieve relaxation. Excellent topic.

Important for the fast paced world to remember to slow down and take care of "me". I am going to try to get in a regime of mindfulness. Thank you.

great (and timely) presentation

Although not a legal/substantive discussion, it was great to learn this perspective on stress management. Very helpful.

This was a great presentation on a subject that does affect all of us in this profession at some point.. Ms. Pong was an excellent speaker and I hope that she has the opportunity to do future presentatons.

Excellent presentation.

Loved this!

Excellent course and presenter.

Definitely a refreshing change from the standard presentation. It introduced me to mindful exercises that I hope to use in the future. One of the most practical presentations. Thank you.

The program discussed an important subject that more attorneys should be aware of.

Different, but good.

I think this is an important topic for the legal community. The presenter did a good job of making her powerpoint more visually stimulating than the others I have watched.

Refreshing program that provided some very practical techniques for de-stressing.

Good presentation. Very upbeat.

Great speaker. She is engaging and has a quirky sense of humor.

Loved it. Great presentation.

Excellent program

Awesome!

Different but very helpful.

Great course. Should be taught in every law school and every law firm.

basic but very helpful

An important topic, and one not discussed nearly enough.

This was a great presentation. A great topic to bring to the forefront. It was not until I stepped back from practicing law that I realized how unhealthy the environments of law firms really are.

interesting concept on stress relief

Excellent! Would definitely recommend

Very compelling, timely and relevant. Mental health issues in law practice are rampant, and they deserve compassionate attention.

Very helpful tools presented by an inspiring mentor.

I really enjoyed the breathing exercise

Cynthia was a good presenter. The information was useful and positive.

Great presentation.

Great Presentation

Great presentation.

One of the most valuable CLEs I've ever taken!

At first, I wondered how relevant this program would be. Then, I was drawn in by the very practical advice on managing stress to ensure you keep balance and give your best to the work.

Great exercises!

...very different...a meditation in a law seminar!!! I liked it.

A fresh, practical take on provisions of the model rules

Knowledgeable speaker offering helpful information in a concise package.

Cynthia Pong is a gifted speaker. This was an outstanding CLE!

Great Program!

Presentation was an important message for lawyers to hear, and yet not what I expect from cle

Spectacular, unique and just what many of us need. Thank you!

Best CLE yet.

Awesome course!

How refreshing! It's great to see the bar taking responsibility for helping its members stay healthy and productive. M There should be more programs like thise even, and this type of mindfulness training should be mandatory for all lawyers. Also, Ms. Pong is amazing. What a find!

Great tactics to employ in a stressful life, not just a stressful job.

Wonderful presentation. Nice change!

really great advice for exercises before court appearances

Good program. Lawline should pursue more programs involving alternative approaches to the challenges of practicing law.

Fantastic program!!!!!!

This is an interesting course outside of the norm for attorneys. I found it very interesting and useful.

While this presentation is not filled with legal principles it does address an important issue - that of a healthy working environment and mentality within a very stressful industry.

Great presentation!

Very helpful program

I really appreciated getting to actually practice exercises that she was talking about.

Engaging speaker!

Nice to see a program on mindfulness.

SPEAKER WAS FANTASTIC - HAVE HER FOR ETHICS MORE OFTEN - KEEP HER WEBINARS IN ARCHIVE LONGER
