This special episode introduces the integrative law movement.
The New Earth lawyer podcast features lawyers who are changing the practice of law to change the world.
Throughout my podcast, I have interviewed many lawyers who are part of what is known as the integrative law movement.
What is the integrative law movement? It's a global movement of lawyers who are motivated to change the world for the better.
In this video, I'll explain integrative law in more detail, how it came about, and where you can find integrative lawyers.
Show notes:
[0:46] Kim Wright relates how the integrative law movement came about.
[2:28] Integrative lawyers are reflective. Chamundai Curran tells us about how she began reflecting on how her clients were unhappy even when they won their court cases.
[4:09] Integrative lawyers are values and purpose-based. Geraldine Johns-Putra explains how she found her purpose, by identifying her passion.
[5:39] Integrative lawyers are systems and design thinkers. Patrick Andrews began searching for the way to design a better system, as he pondered on why good people become collectively irresponsible and uncaring within the larger system.
[6:34] Integrative lawyers are harbingers of evolutionary consciousness. Idara Bassey enlightens us on her doctorate in metaphysics when she studied the collective energy that manifests in corporations.
[8:40] Integrative lawyers can be found in family law - an example is Marguerite Picard who reflects on how lawyers need to understand their own conflict style and how they might contribute to conflict in interpersonal disputes.
[10:16] Criminal law is another place where integrative lawyers can contribute. Kelly McGrath demonstrates the transformative power of restorative justice works through the story of a murder case with an unexpected outcome.
[12:56] In business law, corporations are undergoing change and integrative lawyers are at the forefront of new structures, as Patrick Andrews exemplifies.
[14:55] Integrative lawyers bring a different approach to legal disputes, often being able to help find resolutions, not just settlements for clients in conflict. Peter Lustig shows us how.
[16:28] Finally, Kim Wright explains how Conscious Contracts® work, by stepping us through the components of this relational values-based method to more effective contracting.
