Cover Story: Concerns about lawyers’ mental health and well-being are rising against the backdrop of a transforming legal profession that many have noted is operating more like business in recent decades. This study utilized a large, randomly selected sample of lawyers to explore whether an emphasis on productivity undermines physical and emotional well-being by examining the relationship between the perceived values of employers and key aspects of individual well-being, including stress, physical health, mental health, and emotional problems. We also explore the role of feedback as it relates to lawyer health. Overall, our findings paint a compelling picture of a health hierarchy within legal work environments, one that appears linked to the values of employers and their ability to effectively communicate those values through adequate feedback. View this paper
