Burnout, vicarious traumatization, and emotional distress are recognized aspects of both law and medicine. Physicians and lawyers, a vast majority of their professional life, make greatly consequential decisions that have a profound and life-altering impact on the lives of individuals and families. A body of evidence indicates that honoring and encouraging the humanization of medicine and law leads to extremely favorable outcomes both of lawyers and physicians as well as the people they serve. Humanization allows all the involved parties to connect with each other on a fundamental human and empathic level leading to decisions that are both productive and humane.  The current presentation aims to draw out the parallels between the dehumanization prevalent in both medicine and law and suggest how we can employ strategies, including trauma-informed practices to start turning the tide on the negative outcomes that have become so much a part of lawyers’, judges’, and physicians’ lives.
