STU College of Law leadership joined The Florida Bar Fall Meeting to discuss important issues facing the legal profession, such as the mental health and wellness of Florida lawyers. ⚖️
Dean Nuñez-Navarro chaired the meeting as Chairwoman of The Florida Bar’s Mental Health & Wellness of Florida Lawyers Committee and heard from Florida Bar President Michael Fox Orr and President-Elect Paige Greenlee on the current state of affairs at The Florida Bar.
The committee’s work focuses on supporting lawyer well-being, expanding access to resources, reducing stigma surrounding mental health, and addressing the unique pressures faced by members of the legal profession.
Also in attendance were STU Law alumni Susan Papagikos (’19) and Schuyler Smith (’09), who also serves on the STU College of Law Board of Advisors.
We are proud to see our STU Law community represented in conversations helping shape and support the legal profession across Florida.
