Creative Problem-Solving in Law

Creative Problem-Solving is a discipline that defines problems so as to permit the broadest array of solutions. CPS seeks many points of view and examines problems for their relational impacts at all levels: individual, institutional, societal, and international. CPS seeks to develop solution systems based upon what is learned about a problem, rather than what is habitually done. It is a caring approach that seeks transformative solutions to redefine problems, expand resources and facilitate enhanced relationships between the parties. (based upon a definition of Creative Problem Solving by Janeen Kerper of CWSL.)

California Western College of Law McGill Center for Creative Problem Solving is the flagship for this approach.
