California Lawyers Association (CLA) worked with California Women Lawyers (CWL) to establish a statewide taskforce which reviewed the findings of "Stress, drink, leave: An examination of gender-specific risk factors for mental health problems and attrition among licensed attorneys," by attorney mental health and well-being expert Patrick Krill and Dr. Justin Anker. The taskforce produced a report with recommendations for various stakeholders of the California legal community, "Losing Our [Best] Minds: Addressing the Attrition Crisis of Women Lawyers in a Post-Pandemic World". 

Join taskforce members, report authors, and study conductors for a conversation about the California report, taskforce recommendations, and desired outcomes for our legal community (law students, employers, and practitioners alike).
