ABA CoLAP and ABA LSD to host live Twitter Chat on law student wellness

The American Bar Association Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs and ABA Law Student Division will host a live Twitter chat on law student wellness from 12 to 1 p.m. CST on March 28.

The national Twitter chat, held in recognition of National Mental Health Day for Law Schools, aims to encourage students to seek help when they need it, address questions about the stigma of mental health issues, discuss how it relates to bar application character and fitness standards, and any other questions students may have.

ABA CoLAP (@ABACoLAP) and ABA LSD (@ABAlsd) will be joined by special guests Mistie Bauscher (@bauschlawyer), an Idaho criminal trial attorney and a partner in Briggs & Bauscher; Dallas-based attorney Brian Cuban (@bcuban), author of “The Addicted Lawyer, Tales of the Bar, Booze, Blow, & Redemption;” and Amanda Lee (@HLS_StudentGov), student government president at Harvard Law School.

Students are encouraged to comment and follow along with the hashtag #LawStudentWellness.
