SUMMARY:The loneliness of the long-distance lawyer: remote practice and a
 ttorney wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Wellbeing in the legal profession is being challenged by a gr
 owing tension between those who prefer to work remotely and those who ar
 e seeking to restore in-office presence. The advantage of remote practic
 e eliminates time lost in commute for many\, as well as providing a cert
 ain flexibility in the work-life balance. On the other hand\, the give a
 nd take\, as well as mentoring\, among lawyers and the sense of working 
 within a team is missed by others. Of concern is the growing research an
 d publicity about alienation in society as a whole. Those working in the
  legal profession around the world are already challenged by factors uni

  not limited to them. However\, as part of the overall mix\, the questio
 n is whether remote working it is taking a toll on wellbeing and what ca
 n be done about it. The panel will discuss this increasingly public phen
 omenon in connection with the overall work of the IBA Wellbeing Commissi
 on and provide expert speakers in an interactive forum that encourages a
 udience participation.
