April 8, 2025 – Jeralyn Lawrence, Esq. and Timothy McGoughran, Esq. were guests on Law on the Line, hosted by Robert H. Goodwin, Esq.! This episode discusses the Putting Lawyers First Task Force.
“Putting Lawyers First” was an intentional name for this very important task force. Lawyers hardly ever, if ever, put themselves first. The court comes first, the client comes first, their firm comes first, their family comes first. Never us. We need to make sure we are also looking out for ourselves. While that may be difficult for us to do as we raise our families, run our practices and lead our lives, this is exactly the kind of mission we can embrace on behalf of the profession. The Putting Lawyers First Task Force created working groups to investigate: attorney health and well-being, the ethics and fee arbitration process, malpractice, on-line reviews, getting relieved as counsel, getting paid in cases, and challenges for solo practitioners and those new to the profession.
