Lawyers have among the highest rates of alcoholism, depression, and suicide of any other profession. Between 50 and 80 percent of all lawyers who have discipline problems have substance abuse problems. There is no clear answer why this is the case. Perhaps it is due to the tough conflictual nature of the profession. It certainly is a reaction to stress. J. Gary Gwilliam, an attorney with over 40 years of experience who has tried over 180 jury trials to verdict, will discuss his own personal experiences and journey with alcoholism and will teach attendees how to deal with substance abuse issues within the legal profession.
