CLE: 1.00 Credit
For many prosecutors, our “office” is a courtroom. This nontraditional workplace includes a consistent group of trusted courtroom staff, but also involves daily exposure to colorful cast of characters, depending on the types of cases we handle. Accordingly, because there is no “typical” day within this nontraditional workplace, sometimes we go home content—sometimes traumatized. Spending day after day in a high-pressure courtroom setting with no privacy, no downtime, and often no lunch break, can become mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting.
Consequently, for prosecutors assigned to trial units, maintaining workplace wellness requires adaptability, resolve, and resilience. Time management and calendar control are essential. Supervisors and managers have an additional responsibility of monitoring and caring for their trial lawyers in more ways than one, asking about both evidentiary rulings, and emotional health.
This program will discuss best practices, policies, and procedures to promote and maintain workplace health and wellness for trial prosecutors. From verdicts to vacations, this program will explore unique ways to achieve work-life balance during difficult times.
