Welcome to AWAL

Personal wellness is a vital pillar of a strong professional foundation. Whatever your area of practice your work has meaning and purpose. Our rights and liberties are upheld through the rule of law. Lawyers are the workers who form, uphold and navigate this vital framework of our civilization. You matter.  AWAL is here for you.

“Life’s under no obligation to give us what we expect.” ― Margaret Mitchell

 

The initial years are practice are some of the hardest years a lawyer will experience. AMP is a one-year program offered by a team of coaches and mentors to give junior lawyers agency over their legal careers and a solid foundation for a flourishing legal practice.  Visit the AMP site to learn more.
