Being Well

May 04, 2022

By Robert Rosborough

The California Lawyers Association has designated this week Well-Being Week in Law. Since all of April was poetry month (admittedly, not a CLA designation), having just a week of well-being seems to give short shrift to a critical issue but I still applaud the CLA for focusing on the issue. In fact, the CLA addresses mental health every year the first week in May to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Month. If you click through to its Health and Wellness page, you’ll find some helpful resources, including several live webinars this week, as well as past webinars, articles, and further links.

From the Couch to the Podium

On behalf of MCBA’s board of directors and staff, I would like to thank everyone who came to the installation reception. Over 100 people attended our first in-person event since last July’s summer BBQ and only our second since the pandemic began. It was at once strange and utterly normal to see so many friends and colleagues and be able to talk with a whole person instead of a tiny black square or at best a talking head. One advantage of having to postpone the event until March was daylight saving time: the new Jonas Center venue sits among woods but was filled with light and the outdoor space allowed us to mingle more like it was summer.
