Weekley suggests M.Fr. pimpreneau, defined in Cotgrave (1611) as "a knave, rascall, varlet, scoundrell." The word also means "informer, stool pigeon" in Australia and New Zealand and in S.Africa, where by early 1960s it existed in Swahili form impimpsi. The verb is attested from 1636. Pimpmobile first recorded 1973. ("pimp." Online Etymology Dictionary. Douglas

  • 233 Thriving Through Law's Five Challenges
    THRIVING THROUGH LAW'S FIVE CHALLENGES: A KEY TO PROFESSIONALISM AND PROFESSIONAL SATISFACTION David N. Shearon, JD, MAPP © 2018, David N. Shearon. All rights reserved. [email protected] The Practice of Law Is Tough on Lawyers More than 20 years of research shows that lawyers experience: the highest rate of major depressive disorders of any of 104 occupational groups (generally 2-4 times that of the general population),1 rates of anxiety, phobia, and interpersonal sensitivity 5-15 times higher than in the general population,2 high levels of suicide and substance abuse,3 and significantly lower levels of happiness than their socio-economic peers4. Although this last point may seem trivial compared to the other items in the list, the research strongly suggests that happy people perform better, help others more, and are more successful.5 (Let's treat "happy" as short hand for people who frequently experience positive emotions (even very mildly), who experience negative emotions much less often than positive, and who generally judge their lives to be satisfactory.) The adverse consequences of learning to "think like a lawyer" in law school and then practicing law amidst the challenges noted above are also well established. Elizabeth Mertz has documented how law professors at law schools across the country commonly follow a hidden curriculum of teaching law students to disconnect from their values.6 Multiple studies have noted the high levels of depression, anxiety, alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse that attorneys suffer, the most recent and best a study funded by the ABA and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation.7 Attorneys as a whole were found to be almost 75% more likely than the general public to exhibit problematic drinking behaviors, and young attorneys (under 30) were almost three times as likely.
