Study: 47.5% of US lawyers report burnout, AI adds pressure
The largest study to date on US lawyer mental health found 47.5% report high or very high burnout, rising to 69.5% for those working 71+ hours a week. Authors cite practice demands, field, and work-life conflict as main factors, and mention AI disruption; lawyers under 30 have over three times the rate of moderate or major depression than those over 61.
