I’m lawyer, so I talk to a lot of people who are in disagreement; but they all agree on one thing,
the litigation system is broken.

So, if the system isn’t working– fix it.

You can do it – if you remember that every contract is considered to be the “private law” of the parties.  As long as it doesn’t conflict with the larger system, that private law will be upheld and enforced by the larger system.

When you write your agreements, create your own legal system.

I’ve spent most of my career associated with various non-profit organizations, and those experiences have taught me a lot about work life in this sector. Here’s a collection of posts especially relevant to working for non-profits:

1. Non-profits: If you need a committee to obsess over your mission statement, you may not have a real mission (July 2012) — Any decent non-profit organization should know its mission without convening a committee to define it!

Listen.  Love is all around you.  There is nowhere you can see, nowhere you can go, where Love is not.  Listen.  Do you hear the birds sing?  They sing of love.  Do you hear the trees rustle in the breeze?  They shimmer with Love.  Do you feel the beating of your heart?  It beats with Love.  It can ONLY beat with Love, because it knows nothing else.  Do you feel your breath?  It breathes with Love, because that is its nature.  It can know nothing else.  This idea of fear – it is a concept of the human mind that is an utter illusion, based on the belief that you are separate from the One Love.  Which will you attend to?  The Love that is everywhere and in everything?  The very essence of the Univer

You are already That which you seek.  You are Love unconditional.  You are Joy eternal.  You are Peace without opposite.  You are Divine Light.  There is nothing to find, nowhere to go, nothing to do.  Be still and know, that you are Love Divine.  You are Love itself.

I would like to say that I have been so inspired to start this blog that the idea came to me just this morning, and I embraced it with such joy and exhilaration that I immediately sat down and created this blog.  Yet the truth is that I have been dancing around this idea for over a year, bouncing from excitement at the idea of connecting with and inspiring others, to fear and even panic at the very thought .   And in the emotional roller-coaster ride leading to this blog, I realized that my deepest fear that has been so resistant to openly sharing from my heart wisdom, is also the path to freedom.    What a gift – to know that facing my deepest fears will set me free.

Why should you, as a lawyer, care about Neuroscience?

This is part 4 of my series in Neurolaw – in which I provide some extracts explaining developments in legal thinking that you may not be aware of.

Just found yet another organisation looking at the benefits of Neuroscience to other fields: The Centre for NeuroScience And Society at the University of Pennsylvania.
