Welcome! If you've found your way here and wonder where to start, we recommend that you read About Us & The Movement for an overview, then begin to peruse the articles, videos, and blog postings. Official launch is still a ways off but we have lots of content to share while we're under construction!

At the bottom of my page, it tells me that there are x# of users and # number of guests on line. That number has been as high as 123 guests at one point. Yet few of you are registering. I'm interested in knowing more about who you are and what you're hoping to find at the site. Please take a few minutes and fill out this survey for me.

Under Construction but Progress is Being Made!

Welcome - or welcome back. I feel like a broken record - we're under construction and continuing to work hard on getting the site up and fully operational. New features are being added, including the ability to participate in discussion groups, a calendaring function and many more interactive opportunities. The work multiplies before us and provides many challenges. We're constantly debating about whether to stop collecting new content and just focus on the site or to balance new material with web work. So far, balancing is winning.

BUT, we've made huge progress. Dozens of videos have been uploaded and linked. Michael is editing new additions every day and listening to the interviews again, we are more inspired than ever about the folks we've met. In this issue, we're featuring video interviews of legal educators with some innovative ideas. Some of these innovators have been the founders of our movement and have years of history and context to offer to the conversation. We've broken the interviews into small chunks so you can listen to them in manageable time blocks.

The About the Movement section is getting fleshed out. We still have a few vectors to write about and some videos to link to the appropriate pages. Check out the Collaborative Law page and interview with founder, Stu Webb, and the Holistic Law section and the interviews from the 2008 conference. It used to be that you had to go to a conference to hear the quality of this material. Now you can listen to it at your own desk, at a time that is convenient for you.

The blog posts are mostly Kim's - they're a record of our cross-country travels including some unexpected adventures. We also have a post from a guest blogger, Amanda, who will be returning to law school with new inspiration, having crossed paths with us in Minneapolis.

Below, you'll see a sort of Table of Contents for print articles on many different topics. It is only a fraction of what we have in our hopper and we'll continue uploading, writing new material, and soliciting contributors. BUT, once again, it is a cool body of work. From profiles of pioneers to thought-provoking tools and ideas, these articles raise issues that you won't find anywhere else.

As we focus on getting some content up, the aesthetics of the site are not getting the attention we'd like to give them. That's coming, too. You may discover that the site looks different every time you visit. At some point, we'll settle into one format and you'll easily be able to find what you're looking for.

Thanks for being here. Please visit us often. Send your friends. We'll keep working on getting the place presentable but there is plenty to do here in the meantime.

Warmly,

Welcome to the visitors who are checking out our site! We're still under major construction and still at least a week, maybe two or three, from our formal launch. We're feeling like the folks whose company has arrived early. We're so glad to see you and we're standing at the door, dripping from the shower, towel in hand, a little embarrassed that you're seeing us so undressed.
