Vermont Law School, in conjunction with the SBA Mental Health Committee, has invited special guest Professor Brian Clarke to speak to our community. Battling the stigma associated with depression, Professor Brian Clarke will tell his own story to the VLS Community and offer himself as a resource to those who are experiencing similar problems.

​An Assistant Professor of Business Law at Western Carolina University, Professor Clarke has written extensively about his personal struggle with depression and anxiety as well as the prevalence of mental illness in the legal profession. His writings on this subject have appeared in or been covered by the Journal of Legal Education, the Journal of Law, the National Law Journal, the ABA Journal, the Wall Street Journal, and Business Insider, among others. Professor Clarke also speaks frequently to attorneys and law students about these topics.
