Suicide has touched my life on two occasions, the first many years ago and the second just last year. More than likely, it has touched yours as well.
The fact that suicide is the third-leading cause of death among lawyers unfortunately comes as no surprise. The nature of our work presents a unique level of stress. Many of us handle life-and-death issues for our clients. Putting food on our families’ tables, meeting payroll and other law practice expenses, repaying law school debt and business loans and generally keeping our heads above water financially is dependent on success in the courtroom and/or long days and nights compiling a required number of billable hours.
