Abstract:
Popularly touted in recent years to help combat anxiety, depression, and stress, Mahr proposes that lawyers can benefit from this form of meditation when combatting the stress generated from their work experience. As evidence for the need and potential benefits, the author notes lawyer participants in a study who reported a considerable impact to their work performance and stress levels, as well as a source providing more information about the practice. In fact, from such studies and resources, Mahr, herself a beneficiary of mindfulness, was encouraged to start up a Mindfulness Meditation to Build Resilience to Stress curriculum for lawyers.
