Richard J. Palenchar, Esq., Palenchar Law Firm, APC: "As a trial attorney, I work with people to take their claims to trial effectively in a way that a diverse jury and judge will understand. From the start, we will develop a one word or one sentence case theme that will ring true with people. And we will build that case together. Decision makers want to be fair and do the right thing. Let's appeal to that human impulse with focused advocacy. I am an advocate who speaks plainly, understands the tragicomic edges of human endeavors, and looks to a better future."

July 16: The Grieving Attorney: Navigating Loss with Competence and Compassion

We are lawyers, but we are also human and as such, are subject to all the range of experiences that all people face at some point in their lives. Grief is one such experience. 
We may experience multiple types of loss over the course of our professional careers including the loss of health, a job, a marriage, and of those for whom we care, among many others. 
This CLE discusses what and how we grieve together with the types of grief and the grief journey. This is approached through the lens of attorney ethics because grief can significantly affect our diligence, responsiveness, and client communication, to name just a few of attorneys' job responsibilities. 
The applicable ethical rules will be discussed including ways to ethically navigate our many responsibilities as attorneys while grieving. We discuss why lawyers' grief may be compounded by the nature of our professional work and the unremitting demands that often accompany it. Finally, we'll discuss various ways we can hold space for that which we are grieving to give meaning to our changed circumstances.
