T14 Law School The First In The Nation To Require Coursework On Mental Health
What is your law school doing to foster attorneys' well-being?
What’s really exciting about this is that it’s actually getting woven into the curriculum. This is not a bolt-on program that is given less priority than [students’] academics. This is part of their academics.
— John Hollway, associate dean and executive director of the Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice at Penn Law, commenting on the school’s decision to start a pilot program to integrate lessons on mental health and well-being into students’ mandatory, core coursework. These lessons at Penn, said to focus on “resilience and mindfulness of lawyers,” will be part of the school’s Professional Responsibility class.
