ANNOUNCING SEASON SEVEN OF THE CHARLESTON BAR BASKETBALL LEAGUE
The Charleston County Bar Basketball League is set to run again this year. The league is for attorneys and will run every Tuesday night from January 31 into April. Games will start at 6:00 and 7:05. The setup and rules should be nearly the same as last year (four on four half court, referees calling fouls, etc). You do not need to form a team to join as all players are pooled together with a blind draft (using the attached survey) before the first week of games. Attorneys interested in participating should contact Jeffrey J. Wiseman at jwiseman@ycrlaw.comjwiseman@ycrlaw.com.
Because there will be a blind draft to best and most fairly divide up teams, please respond to the below survey in your email to Jeff.
We play with reversible jerseys and will have the same jerseys as last year so if you bought a jersey last year and still have it, you will not need to do so this year. If you need a jersey, please respond with your size.
Everyone will also need to sign a waiver. Waivers will be distributed before startup.
The cost to play per player will be $22.00. Please make your check out the Charleston County Bar Association
If you know an attorney who would want to play, please forward this to them so they can send me an email. We will do our usual blind draft so everyone will need to fill out the below survey again. Please respond to this email with your answers to the survey if you plan to play.
The purpose of this league is for Charleston County attorneys to get to know one another and to get some exercise. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to sign up. The season will likely be a ten week regular season with an a championship game at the end of the year between the
winners of the two divisions.

The Charleston Division
BRIDGE PROGRAM
A Federal Drug Court
Inspired by the joint desire of our local Judiciary, U.S. Attorney's Office, and Federal Defender's Office, to put in process evidence based practices to combat the revolving door of recidivism, Charleston was tasked with piloting the design and implementation of a Federal Drug Court. The mission of a drug court is to play a significant role in ending the abuse of drugs and alcohol and related criminal activity.
Drug courts promote recovery and community safety through a coordinated response to substance abusing and addicted offenders. Realization of these goals required a team approach, including cooperation and collaboration of the judges, prosecutors, public defender's office, defense counsel, probation authorities, other corrections personnel, law enforcement, evaluators, an array of local service providers, and the greater community. State-level organizations representing law enforcement and criminal justice, vocational rehabilitation, education, and housing also have important roles to play.
The combined energies of these individuals and organizations can assist and encourage defendants to, on a voluntary basis, make a reciprocal effort which could ultimately change their lives.
Several months of conducting a significant amount of research, information gathering from successful state and federal drug courts across the country, and the collaboration of a cross-section of the key stake-holders who share a passion for the potential positive impact this may have, has been challenging yet fruitful. The process of identifying suitable candidates who meet the established criteria has begun.
We are pleased to announce that the District of South Carolina's first Federal Drug Court, entitled The BRIDGE Program, was established in the Charleston Division.

THE LAWYERS' EPIDEMIC:
DEPRESSION, SUICIDE, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE
C. Stuart Mauney
Gallivan, White & Boyd, P.A.
In a period of 18 months, six lawyers committed suicide in South Carolina. In late 2008, a student at the Charleston (SC) School of Law committed suicide. Around that same time, a student at the USC School of Law died of alcohol poisoning. Recent studies show that lawyers are three times as likely to suffer from depression as other professions. The rate of substance abuse among lawyers is twice that of the general population.
The South Carolina Bar formed the HELP Task Force to shine a bright light on these problems. It is my privilege to serve as Chair of HELP, whose mission is to raise awareness and promote prevention of substance abuse, mental illness, and suicide within the legal profession. The Bar's Lawyers Helping Lawyers program provides confidential services for lawyers who suffer from substance abuse and mental illness. HELP complements the work of LHL by educating lawyers, law firms, law students, and judges about the services available through LHL. HELP also promotes a better understanding of mental health issues in the legal profession.
A study by Johns Hopkins University found that among more than 100 occupations studied, lawyers were most likely to suffer from depression and were 3.6 times more likely than average to do so. A quality of life survey by the North Carolina Bar revealed that almost 26% of respondents exhibited symptoms of clinical depression, and almost 12% said they contemplated suicide at least once a month. The North Carolina study was prompted in part by the suicides of 8 Mecklenburg County lawyers in a seven-year period.
10% of Americans, more than 19 million people, suffer from depression every year. More Americans suffer from clinical depression than heart disease and cancer. Effective treatment is available for 90% of those with a depressive illness.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among attorneys, after cancer and heart disease. The rate of death by suicide for lawyers is nearly six times the suicide rate for the general population. Suicide can be prevented. While some suicides occur without any outward warning, most do not. We can prevent suicide among lawyers by learning to recognize the signs of someone at risk, taking those signs seriously, and knowing how to respond to them.
The National Institute on Alcohol and Alcohol Abuse estimates that 10% of the U.S. population is alcoholic or chemically dependent. In the legal profession, the abuse may be as high as 20%. Alcoholism is a factor in 30% of all completed suicides. Reports from lawyer assistance programs indicate that 50%-75% of lawyer discipline cases nationwide involve chemical dependency.
Whether you are the husband, wife, employee, judge, law student, law partner, law firm associate, friend, or colleague of a person challenged by depression or substance abuse, your understanding of the nature of the problem can play a vital part in helping that individual to achieve and maintain recovery. Please remember that there is hope, and there is help. You are not alone.
