The crisis no one talks about.
Lawyers experience lower levels of emotional intelligence than other professional groups.
Low emotional intelligence (EQ) among lawyers extends beyond a minor gap in soft skills. Mental health and well-being numbers tell a part of the story: dangerous levels of anxiety, stress, and burnout. Strained professional and personal relationships. Substance abuse and suicide rates that far exceed the general population. By itself, the data raises awareness, but it doesn't help lawyers build the skills needed to restore personal well-being. And it doesn't explain the correlation between mental health concerns and low EQ levels among lawyers.
The system is broken. And it's breaking the people inside it.
You've been surviving the system. But survival is different than flourishing.
Lawyers are conditioned to disconnect from their emotions, humanity, and authenticity as a survival mechanism within legal culture. The byproducts of this systemic requirement are dangerous levels of anxiety, stress, burnout, and desperation. Increasing EQ is one of the most effective ways for lawyers to improve their mental health and well-being.
Lawyers who develop their EQ experience “[b]etter mental health with greater happiness and well-being, more social connectedness, higher rates of job satisfaction, and lower anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, substance abuse, and suicide” (Ronda Muir, Beyond Smart: Lawyering with Emotional Intelligence, 2nd Edition, Chicago: ABA, 2025).
