Episode 16. Twelve Steps for Improving Professionalism for Lawyers

So many lawyers are stressed and burned out, sadly so. And part of the reason is they are tired of the unnecessary conflict that often occurs between lawyers.

Together we can make our profession a more fulfilling career. In Episode 16 of The Free Lawyer podcast, I discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of our profession. I describe 12 practical tools we can all follow for making our profession a better place. Which of these were most helpful to you?
