There are several law related articles that discuss public defender well-being and lawyer well-being. This subject has been studied periodically over the years, but has gained more traction in recent years, with the ABA proclaiming that “[t]o be a good lawyer, one has to be a healthy lawyer. Sadly, our profession is falling short when it comes to well-being,” and publishing “The Path to Lawyer Well-Being” in 2017.
