Substance Misuse in the Legal Profession 2025

CPD Points: 1.0

Film Date: 22/08/2025

Substance misuse within the legal profession is a growing concern, both in Australia and internationally, with research indicating that lawyers experience disproportionately high rates of alcohol and drug-related issues compared to the general population. The intense pressures of legal work—long hours, high stakes, and a culture of perfectionism—often begin in law school and continue throughout legal careers, contributing to elevated stress levels and mental health challenges. These factors can lead to the misuse of alcohol, prescription medications, and illicit substances as coping mechanisms. Despite the prevalence of these issues, stigma and fear of reputational damage frequently prevent legal professionals from seeking help, creating barriers to early intervention and support. The lack of targeted Australian research and structured support systems further compounds the problem, underscoring the urgent need for open dialogue, education, and proactive wellbeing initiatives within the legal sector.
