Wellness, Mindfulness, and the Legal Profession
LLNE Spring Conference, March 7, 2025
Hosted by the Boston College Law Library
Welcome
The LLNE spring conference will investigate wellness, mindfulness, and the legal profession through panels and experiential sessions designed to heighten your awareness about the stressors that plague the legal profession. Law librarianship is at its heart a profession focused on providing services. Often, over time, we get to know our users, and, subsequently, they sometimes turn to us for more than research questions and reference aids. Since service providers can be affected by stress emanating from those around them, it is important to learn to prioritize self-care and wellness. This allows you to provide more effective service, and to connect more authentically with both yourself and others.
