Bullying of lawyers by other lawyers is a long-known but little-discussed problem, even though it exists in many practice settings across the country. Bullying can negatively impact the quality of a lawyer’s day-to-day practice, their emotional well-being and physical health, and the chance to thrive and be successful. Bullying also impedes an employer’s ability to create effective and collegial work teams, retain lawyers who do good work, and foster a culture that is inclusive and supportive of success for lawyers at all levels.

Join our speakers Roberta (“Bobbi”) Liebenberg and Stephanie Scharf, both former Chairs of the American Bar Association Commission on Women, to discuss their new research about Bullying in the Legal Profession, which was sponsored and published by the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism.
