Mindfulness—being present in the moment with an attitude of non-judgment—heightens focus and equanimity, setting the stage for meaningful communication and increased creativity. Mindfulness is a tool that can support lawyers’ well-being and improve the quality of lawyering. Join us for a discussion with expert speakers on the role of mindfulness in the legal profession, with a special focus on the challenges lawyers face when serving as neutrals or client representatives in dispute resolution processes.
