This course begins with an introduction to mindfulness practices to understand how the mind works, and how to reduce stress, cultivate greater wellbeing, and create intentional, positive, powerful, states of mind. It then invites you into an investigation of how to be more at choice in the ways you think, work, and communicate. Integral to this investigation is an exploration of and engagement with essential lawyering skills and core lawyering values helpful in finding happiness in the law, and in contributing to a more just, equitable, profession and society. At the conclusion of the class, you'll create a vision for your most successful, joyful, and values-based life in the law. There will be a daylong retreat at Green Gulch Farm in Muir Beach, CA (in Marin County) on Saturday, February 11th. Attendance is required at the retreat.
