The annual COLAP conference features sessions about leadership in lawyer well-being from a variety of perspectives, and this year will focus on Cultivating Agility and Resilience in Times of Change, in a virtual format for the first time ever.
In a virtual format for the first time ever, the 2020 National Conference for Lawyer Assistance Programs will be held on Wednesday, November 11th and Thursday, November 12th. It will feature sessions of interest to judges, disciplinary staff, bar leaders, lawyer assistance program directors and staff, law school administrators and law firm managers, as well as abundant opportunities to network with LAP personnel and volunteers involved in Law Assistance Programs from across the United States and Canada.
