Join Stella Rabaut, attorney, law professor and retreat designer, in two thought-provoking sessions that will consider the current state of the legal profession and explore conceptual and practical shifts that are occurring. In addition to competence and competition, additional abilities are essential in the modern practice of law. Specific, supplemental skills are being called for in 21^st century lawyering. These skills add to those taught, practiced and rewarded in previous decades.

In these workshops, we will explore the contemporary needs of lawyers through the following questions:

• Is being conscious a foundational requirement for effective lawyering?
• How does “emotional intelligence” factor into the practice of law?
• Is altruism possible in the practice of law? Does the practice of law call for the tempering of a caring ethic?
• As counselor-at-law, can we find ways to guide, coach and tap into the inner wisdom of our clients?
• How can a lawyer be mindful of the larger implications of their cases and the importance of sustaining connections and relationships?

These workshops will also explore the role of creativity in lawyering, whether collaboration is optional or essential in a modern law practice and whether we really have the courage to make a difference.

A fascinating set of workshops for the conscious lawyer who is striving to be more self-aware, listen deeply to their clients, and become personally fulfilled in their mindful, sustainable practice.
