ANALYSIS: Lawyer Self-Care Is Getting Its Moment in the Sun (1)

Results from Bloomberg Law’s most recent Workload & Hours Survey show the largest jump in hours lawyers spent on self-care since the survey’s inception. The 658 survey respondents reported spending an average of 6.6 hours per week on self-care in H1 2022—one hour more than attorneys reported spending on self-care in Q4 2021 (5.6 hours).
