Purpose and Pro Bono: Reframing Well-being in the Legal Profession

Monday, May 5, 2025, 1:00 pm ET

In a high-pressure profession where time is scarce, it may seem counterintuitive to add something to your schedule. But what if volunteering your legal skills—rather than draining you—could actually renew your sense of purpose, connection, and well-being?

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion that explores how pro bono legal service can enhance attorney well-being. Featuring insights from a Taft attorney, in-house counsel, and mental health professionals, this session will offer fresh, outside-the-box strategies to integrate purpose-driven work into even the busiest legal careers.

You’ll walk away with:

• An understanding of how pro bono work can positively impact mental, emotional, and even physical well-being.
• Strategies for making time for pro bono work in a demanding schedule.
• Insight into how meaningful pro bono or community service work can build connection with colleagues or clients.
• Practical ways to reframe your professional identity around purpose and values.
• Encouragement to think differently about what “well-being” can look like in legal practice.

Whether you’re already committed to pro bono or looking for a spark to reengage, this conversation will provide tools and inspiration to see pro bono and community engagement not as a burden, but as a path to professional fulfillment.
