ABOUT US
 
Lawyers Against Bullying

We are an ever-growing group of legal professionals who want to consciously work to stop bullying in our society, whether it be in person or virtually.  Unfortunately, almost all of us have been bullied in our lives. From the news stories that are rampant, it does not seem that that bullies are going anyway.   From cyber-bullying to schoolyard bullying to office bullying, more needs to be done to stop bullying.  We became lawyers and legal professionals because we wanted to make a difference, and we want to make a difference here.   We've decided to form this organization to be a force against bullies, to stop bullying where we can, and to change the practice of law so that it is free of bullying.
 
Why lawyers?

If there is one profession that can help eliminate bullies, it is the legal profession.  Our organization exists to call all lawyers together to address this issue for themselves, their clients, the legal profession, and for our society. Lawyers, like all other professions, need to stand together and reject such bullies and bullying tactics.  LAB is committed to helping lawyers and the legal profession adopt legal ethics, standards, and practices that are bully-free.
 
What can lawyers really do to stop bullying?
 
We see the question differently.  The question is, why aren't lawyers doing more to stop bullying in the USA?
