Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
People
wanting
basic
changes
to
the
job
description
and
other
accommodations
to
help
them
live
a
more
balanced
life
for
their
mental
health—that’s
a
really
different
phenomenon
from
what
firms
were
seeing
five
years
ago,
and
it’s
only
going
to
increase.
It’s
not
out
of
malice
or
ill
will,
they
simply
are
not
seeing
how
it’s
possible.
The
job
is
the
job.
With
the
model
of
large
law
firms
right
now,
time
demands
and
time
pressures
are
often
very
significant,
and
the
expectations
of
constant
availability
are
very
real.
—
Patrick
Krill,
a
law
firm
mental
health
adviser,
in
comments
given
to
the
Legal
Intelligencer,
on
whether
Biglaw
firms
are
fully
equipped
to
deal
with
the
mental
health
accommodations
being
requested
by
their
youngest
attorneys.
“I
just
don’t
think
most
firms
are
fully
aware
of
the
challenge
that
is
staring
them
in
the
face,”
Krill
concluded.
