Legal Edgewalkers
South Africa-bound
Do you know anyone in South Africa I should meet? I'm going to Cape Town and Jo'burg, South Africa next month. I am speaking at this conference:
Does your cynicism keep you from the very things you want and need?
In case you missed this because you wisely took the weekend off.....or if you prefer a version that has no typos (or at least fewer), here is something I posted earlier.
(Note the June 1 deadline)

Are you a broken-hearted idealist?
I’ve been quiet for a while – too busy living life to write about it. In the last few weeks, I’ve met dozens of lawyers, spoken to hundreds, and have learned so much more about this movement and the courageous lawyers who are leading it. There is a lot to report about Canada, Australia and the Conscious Capitalism conference.
For now, I want to tell you about something I heard at the conference. One of the speakers said that that behind every cynic is a broken-hearted idealist.

The Lawyers as Peacemakers and Healers conference in Phoenix was an amazing opportunity to gather and celebrate a movement. With about four dozen presenters, it was a Who's Who of Phoenix legal luminaries.

What Were Your Dreams About Being a Lawyer?
In my travels around the country, I've had thousands of conversations with lawyers. Most have told me that they went to law school hoping to make a difference in the world. Whether it was to save the environment, create social justice, or world peace, they had dreams about what being a lawyer could help them do.
Steve Keeva: A Sad Update
Steven Keeva wrote Transforming Practices, Finding Joy and Satisfaction in the Legal Life. It and the holistic lawyer columns he wrote as a senior editor at the ABA Journal were a turning point in our movement. Steve was diagnosed with early Alzheimers while barely 50 years old.
