Welcome to the LegalMind Society

Welcome to the LegalMind Society, an organization that seeks to jump-start the conversation about mental health within the legal community. Lawyers, law students, and judges are important to the overall running of our society. Unfortunately, the noble profession of the law comes with a dark side. Something about the professional culture of the law has caused too many judges, lawyers, and law students to struggle with mental health conditions. And for professionals who are trained not to show weakness, too many suffer in silence.

However, living with a mental illness is nothing to be ashamed about. It is something to be talked about. Because once we start to talk about our mental health, once we come out from the shadows of the law’s dark side, we discover that there is support that exists, support that can help us live our best lives and be our best advocates.

That is what the LegalMind Society was created to foster. It was created to foster a future where lawyers are seen as people first, people who are just as in need of support as the rest of us. So if you are a member of the legal community who is looking for a safe place, then welcome, welcome to the LegalMind Society.
