Well-Being in the Legal Profession by Randall Kiser

Well-Being in the Legal Profession by Randall Kiser

This book provides a critical psychosocial analysis of legal practice, documenting a mental health crisis among lawyers and judges and linking this crisis to a dysfunctional legal system they continue to control.

“Blending psychology, empirical analysis, and practical insight, Randall Kiser has long been an astute commentator on how lawyers can improve their thinkingThis book explains how lawyers can both enhance their own mental health and remedy systemic injustices by placing greater emphasis on altruism. Read it!” Jean Sternlight, author, Psychology for Lawyers, Professor, UNLV Boyd School of Law, USA, and Founding Director, Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution

"I've been a fan of Kiser's work since reading Soft Skills in 2017. This book is no exception. Its multidisciplinary exploration of the current state of the US legal system comes from a place of genuine concern and an underlying respect for all who are impacted by lawyers’ choices.” Sarah Schendel, Professor, Suffolk University Law School, USA

"Well-Being in the Legal Profession illustrates how the profession has devalued altruism and the harm done to caring lawyers in the process. As lawyers are infected by the system’s perverse incentives, justice for the people who depend on the system remains elusive. Kiser pushes us to grapple with this challenge." Jonathan Rapping, author, Gideon's Promise, and Professor and Director, Criminal Justice Certificate Program, Atlanta's John Marshall Law School, USA
