Supervising a pro bono project with 1Ls to meet an underserved need in your community is a wellness activity, not just extra work. The occupational dimension of wellness directs us to choose a career that reflects our passion and to serve our community. 1Ls bring enthusiasm for providing legal services and reinvigorate our interest in the field. The emotional dimension of wellness includes confronting your feelings. A new pro bono project reminds you that you are capable of making a difference when the system seems rigged and allows you to provide 1Ls with tools to combat burnout experienced so frequently in our profession.
