How to Ethically and Practically Pause Your Practice
If you practice law long enough, something in life will inevitably interrupt your practice. This could include your own mental or physical health; parental leave; caregiving for family; and more. Unfortunately, it can often feel impossible to pause one’s practice to take care of these outside-of-work situations. Join KYLAP, the KBA Well-Being Committee, and Lawyers Mutual of Kentucky as we explore the ethics and practicalities of pausing your practice when life interferes. Attendees will learn how the duty of competency (1.1) and diligence (1.3) are negatively impacted when lawyers are not at their best selves. The panel will discuss what policies or procedures can be put in to place to proactively (and practically) ensure the lawyer continues to meet their ethical obligations during a pause in practice.
