Recent studies have suggested that lawyers are particularly prone to depression, anxiety, and stress, but are lawyers becoming zombies? According to Professor Peter Huang (who co-authored an article of similar title), the plight of the profession presents interesting parallels to the concept of “zombification,” with lawyers and law students mindlessly reacting to stress. Prof. Huang discusses these parallels, the role of stress reduction strategies such as mindfulness, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted attorney mental health. Peter also presents some ways in which the legal profession and law schools can begin to improve attorney well being… perhaps avoiding the zombie apocalypse entirely.
