Question of the Week

We want to hear from you

Do you belong to any social groups for lawyers?

Law practice may be the loneliest profession. Lawyers outranked other professionals on a "loneliness scale" in a survey of more than 1,600 workers. Houston-area lawyer Scott Rothenberg tells the ABA Journal that loneliness and isolation may be a root cause of many lawyer issues like depression, suicide and substance abuse.

Do you belong to any groups to socialize with other lawyers? In-person or online? Where you discuss work-related issues or personal ones? Why or why not? If you belong to a group, do you think it helps professionally or with your overall well-being? Answer in the comments.
