Dr. Traci Cipriano, assistant clinical professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine and author of The Thriving Lawyer, discussed the urgent need to address burnout in the legal profession, the barriers to meaningful change, and the structural solutions required to support lawyer well-being. Cipriano explored why self-care alone is not enough, the critical role of leadership in driving cultural shifts, and practical policies that can make a real difference in legal workplaces.
