"And in the long run, misery does no one any good." So very true. Unfortunately, the legal profession suffers from adopting the doctrine of sacrifice. One of my law school professors - a charismatic guy who loved to mentor his students - committed suicide. And a prominent Miami attorney, who was a pillar in the legal community and who also loved to mentor young lawyers - also committed suicide a few years later. Both events were so shocking an unexpected. The pressure of legal practice is immense. Thank you for writing this article as a call for change, and so astutely labeling suicide "a permanent solution for a temporary problem."
