Mindfulness and Law – become a better lawyer
Law and mindfulness make for good bedfellows. How? Through mindfulness practices, the performance of typical legal tasks, such as researching, drafting and writing, is enhanced. As lawyers, we become better listeners and more present with clients. The ability to calmly consider complex legal issues improves, and solutions for clients are often more creative. There is also a naturally strengthened sense of professional responsibility. Add in the opportunity to work in a freelance capacity, and there is a potent mix. The freelance option in law can allow for a true relationship of equals because, in the end, it is all about the work you do for the business, rather than the complexity of career paths and politics.
