J. Kim Wright

For about a dozen years, I have been emailing and talking on the phone with Stephanie West Allen. We share many common interests - she is a lawyer-mediator, author, web presence and is interested in a lot of topics like neuroscience and webinars. On Wednesday, we finally met! Stephanie had her video camera and I was on the opposite end of the camera from usual. Here is her blog and the videos:

I read a book recently that I highly recommend (recommended to me by Kim Wright – thank you, Kim!!!). It’s called The Anatomy of PEACE by Arbinger Institute. There is so much of value that I could share and the information is relevant to my law practice and every other part of my life. (And isn’t that at the essence of being a holistic lawyer, that my work and my life are not in any way separate?)

Yay! We've had some favorable reviews of Lawyers as Peacemakers, Practicing Holistic, Problem-Solving Law!

J. Kim Wright is an ambitious woman. In this comprehensive resource manual, she describes dozens of ways in which lawyers, judges and legal workers across the country (and around the world) are attempting to change their profession for the better. The terms sound hopeful – Holistic Law, Renaissance Law, Transformative Law, Law with a Meditative Perspective. Spiritual Law, Law as a Healing Profession, Restorative Justice, Therapeutic Jurisprudence. Most profoundly, as the title reflects, “Lawyers as Peacemakers.” - Lainey Feingold

J. Kim Wright J.D., is a pioneer in the field of law as a healing profession. A graduate of the University of Florida College of Law, she passed the North Carolina Bar in 1994, her third successful bar exam and the only membership that she currently maintains. She was the original founder of the Renaissance Lawyer Society, a non-profit organization of lawyers “supporting legal transformation and innovation” and wrote their original web site of almost 400 pages of information. The “RLS” site showcased ways of practicing law that were solution-oriented, collaborative, restorative, peacemaking and healing and promoted the new approaches as a movement and new paradigm of law.
