Lawyers as Peacemakers, Practicing Holistic introduced lawyers to many innovative approaches, perspectives, and skills for the 21st Century lawyer.

Picking up where Lawyers as Peacemakers ended, Lawyers as Changemakers covers the expansion and development of the Integrative Law movement. The pillars of the movement are explored:

  • Integrated Reflective Practices
  • Values and Purpose-based Practices
  • Systems Thinking Approaches
  • Integral Consciousness

    The book describes and illustrates emerging integrative approaches such as Earth Jurisprudence, Sharing Law, Conscious (Values-Based) Contracts, Purposeful Estate Planning, and many others.

    It provides a context for many other movements in law, from mindfulness meditation to alternative billing practices, and explores the tools of systems change, including many theories and approaches.

    The book is written in the style of social media with commentary and sections written by the author, with stories by integrative lawyers and social change leaders, punctuated with quotations. It also includes law review articles.

    This collection of materials fit into the lives of busy lawyers who sometimes want a quick break and sometimes need something pithier. Exercises are scattered through the book to engage the readers in inquiry. It also offers specific actions for readers to take to become changemakers and leaders.

    With more than 100 contributors from every populated continent, the book offers a global tour of innovation, introspection, and inspiration.
