In the summer of 2018, Utah Supreme Court gathered stakeholders from throughout the legal community to form the Utah Task Force on Lawyer & Judge Well-Being. Charged with laying the groundwork for a well-being movement in Utah's legal community, in February 2019 the Task Force issued it's report and recommendations, and formed the permanent Well-Being Committee for the Legal Profession (WCLP).
