Conflict of Interest: None declared.
Ethical Considerations & Disclosures: Both studies were conducted in accordance with ethics protocols approved by Western University's Non-Medical Research Ethics Board (#107342).
Clinical significance: These studies suggest that web-based mindfulness meditation interventions are feasible to implement in the legal profession and that these types of programs are effective in improving well-being within this population. These findings are important given that the legal profession has historically struggled with high rates of depression, anxiety, and stress.
