One estimate claims the number of lawyers with digital addiction could be as high as 40%, and lawyers' need to constantly engage with technology makes it difficult to set boundaries. What can they do to unplug? In this edition of The Digital Edge, hosts Sharon Nelson and Jim Calloway talk to Roberta Tepper about digital addiction in the legal profession and her tips for spending less time on mobile devices. Together, they discuss the signs and symptoms of addiction, caution against "text neck", and talk about ways lawyers can mindfully put their phones down and reduce dependence, step-by-step.
Roberta Tepper has been the lawyer assistance programs director at the State Bar of Arizona since 2013.
