Cutting Edge Law reflects the emerging trend to see law as more holistic and human. We are integrative lawyers with the same analytical legal training and skills as other lawyers. Often, integrative lawyers have studied other disciplines - psychology, human dynamics, organizational development, neuroscience, coaching, etc. - which they incorporate into their practices. Compassion, empathy, conflict resolution, and healing are not taught in law schools, but are critical to the healthy practice of law. Integrative lawyers work in ways that are aligned with their values and they help their clients do the same. They tend to be reflective, both personally and in groups, inquiring into not only the substance of law but also the purpose, the "why" behind the law, a broader, systemic picture. They want to make the world a better place. Many are exploring paths of personal and spiritual growth, taking care of their own well-being and being more present and effective for their clients. Often, integrative law is referred to as a more conscious way to practice law. Are you a 'weird' lawyer or are you actually a pioneer in new ways of practicing law? Can you imagine a profession based on peacemaking, healing, and problem-solving? Do you see that the legal system needs to evolve? Are you part of manifesting those changes? Or maybe you want to be. Come join us in this exploration.
