We’re still ecstatic about last week’s Kansas Attorney General Debate!

What an afternoon for JoCo Bar. A packed room, thoughtful questions, two statewide candidates, and coverage that carried the conversation well beyond Johnson County.

A huge thank you to Attorney General Kris Kobach and Chris Mann for participating and giving our members the opportunity to hear directly from both candidates.

We also could not have asked for a better moderator than Nick Haines of Kansas City PBS, and a special thank you to Laura McConwell for serving as our timekeeper and keeping us on track.

And of course, thank you to our JoCo Bar members and guests who filled the room, submitted great questions and helped make this such a successful event.

We are incredibly proud of what JoCo Bar was able to bring together and even more excited that word is getting out about the programs and opportunities happening here.

This was a good one. 💙

Today is World Mental Health Day.

The legal profession can be demanding, and it is easy to put your own wellbeing at the bottom of the list.

Today is a good reminder to check in with yourself and with the people around you. Take the break. Make the call. Step away from the inbox for a bit. Connect with friends or colleagues who understand the pressures that come with this work.

Resources are available through Kansas Lawyers Assistance Program, for attorneys who may need support or simply someone to talk to.

Taking care of your mental health is part of taking care of yourself, your work and the people who rely on you.
