Book Review
The Addicted
Lawyer
By BRIAN CUBAN

Reviewed by Richard Alan Joyce, Jr., Esquire

O

h, no! Not yet another tale, both

insipid and inspiring, of addiction
and recovery to warm the cockles

of my heart this Christmas season! I have to

say when I received this assignment, the notion
of substituting The Addicted Lawyer by Brian

Cuban for Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol
did not, shall we say, leave me a tingle. The
prospect of living by proxy the humiliation

and shame of a fellow attorney did not bode
well for a joyous noel.

However, here we are. Let's switch things up and start with
the Ghost of Christmas Present:
* Attorneys in the United States have significantly higher
rates of problematic drinking than the general population.

Whereas an estimated 7% of adults in the U.S. qualify as
problem drinkers. According to the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the
number soars to between 21 and 36 percent among licensed
currently practicing attorneys.
* 28% of attorneys report mild or higher levels of
depression, which is much higher than the general
population.
* 19% of attorneys are struggling with clinically significant
anxiety.
